About the speed and world record thing I have
seen over 410 knots in my IV a couple times in the winter but here’s a
shot with my cell phone camera on a recent trip. There has to be some guys who
have seen way faster. 28 inches, 2350 LOP at 23000. That’s where I run
it- now almost a 1000TT with one quart per 10 hours. Original cylinders.
