Mike's answer here is the first to really hint at the solution for speed.
Horsepower is great for climb, but if you want to go fast, work on drag
reduction. If you want to go even faster, work on weight reduction. When I
first finished my KR, I was pretty disappointed in the performance. I c

2520 rpm she indicates around 143 mph. That usually shows about 160 mph across

I can give you an opinion from a guy who has been looking for the best of the
best options and what I am seeing with N886MJ.
First, Larry is right. In my opinion this design has been pushed to its limit.
At this point most everything has been tried and the best options are being
used. If you
