I still have a few odd tuning issues but Tracy believes it due to my MT electric prop and provided a different approach to try. My supercharger was mostly bypassed for this flight so MP pressure never got above 28". Take off rpm was at 6500 with the prop set for 2250. It flew like a 190 hp RV-10. About 800 fpm climb. I didn't push it and limited speed to about 110 mph. Fuel MAP needs to be much better before using the supercharger or increasing the prop \ engine rpm. I can run 34" MP at 7200 rpm and 36" at lower rpms. Still HP to be tapped. A few data points. Engine was warm before takeoff because of a few high power run.
