The last think I want to do is spend a lot of time rebuilding engines. My goal for now is to get some trouble free hours under my belt so I don't think I will push it too hard. I am thinking low 30's for short periods and about 30" continuous. I can carry that up high and still post some big speed numbers. Of course, that is what I say now, sitting here at my desk..

I am guessing it will take about 35" at 7000' and maybe 40" at sea level to have the fastest RV on the block... I suppose she can handle that for a few minutes :-) Then all I will hear about is my fuel burn... sigh. One of the guys, Dan Checkoway, www.RVproject.com (awesome web site, builder, pilot, and all around guy), is posting some amazing economy with his dual lighspeed and EFI IO-360. In the neighborhood of 28mpg at 180 KTAS!!!

Hi Dave,
 
Great to hear that you're back in the sky where you belong.  Sounds like plenty of cooling is available for boost, so how much are you planning to run?

Thats a good question Rusty.  I'm kinda curious about that myself.  The last think I want to do is spend a lot of time rebuilding engines.  My goal for now is to get some trouble free hours under my belt so I don't think I will push it too hard.  I am thinking low 30's for short periods and about 30" continuous.  I can carry that up high and still post some big speed numbers.
