Default 376 HP ACE IO-568

Check this out on EFII's home page.

http://www.flyefii.com/

This in addition to a recent dyno at Sky Dynamics on Tye's IO-540 @313hp on EFII. that's corrected data.

Direct any specific questions to Robert @ EFII. I'll answer what I can.

At 2867 RPM..........

Wonder if they used a test club, or a water brake??

The RPM is kinda out of the "real world" arena most of will ever see, makes me think they could not load the engine enough at max power to keep it to 2700??

Default dyno

That was on their water brake dyno.
They just ran it up to see what it would do.
It made 360hp at 2709rpm.

Can't wait to hear some notes and figures from one of these flying. Also, pictures on a 10!

Nice BSFC at .42 for that power! Very good breather. Now for the TBO.

Default Like a big belt buckle

Given that an aerodynamically clean RV-10 can fly within 10 kts of VNE in level flight with just a plain old boring Lycoming, and that climb performance is in many cases limited by cooling, I have a hard time seeing how this particular airframe benefits from more power. But I do see how talking about it would impress the old guys at the airport.

Well maybe pull it back and burn a little less. And who doesn't want a shorter climb to altitude. When I someday build, unless more comes along this is an engine i've looked into...very nice!

376 HP @ 2,867 RPM and 360 HP @ 2,709 RPM does not sound unreasonable. 16 HP less at 158 RPM less is in the ball park as it is only a few percent HP less.
