That may not be the best position. My little 320 does 215 kts at sea level. 210 is about the average cruise at 7500. I am dialing in an extra 1/2 inch (measured at the trailing edge of the flap) of reflex. While flying in formation I have determined that for my airplane this is the sweet spot. Too much will slow it down and any less will too. The difference between the faired in position and my reflex position is 7-10 kts. I also have the gaps on the flaps taped and gap seals on the ailerons.
