Thanks to Messrs Moreno, Regan and Zehrbach for the enlightment on other 
sources of power/speed gain and the affect on the power-train system.  This 
discussion has been most timely since the Legacy 2000 (#2 on the order list) 
provides me an opportunity to "get it right".
In order to reach the speed capability of the Legacy, it would be useful to 
reasonably optimize the power available by investigating the use of such 
things as coatings, electronic ignition and injection, use of a clutched 
supercharger etc.  And, perhaps even more importantly, I want to minimize 
cooling drag thru cowl design, air flow control, the investigation of exhaust 
augmenter tubes etc.  Currently, the Legacy cowl is big enough and pretty, 
but inadequate for proper airflow.
In any event, I will soon take my 320 and fly the 2.5 hours to Morgantown to 
learn more about coatings.
Several LML distributions ago, a Mr. Eric Alstrom was identified as an expert 
in cooling drag and airflow.  Does anyone have his e-mail address or 
telephone number?
