Dave has been doing some testing on optimizing intake runner lengths as of late and has found a bit more free power as a result. Dave puts in a lot of time tweaking and testing to find every last bit of power and economy.

Hopefully you'll see some information on all this work soon. Truly fascinating approach using some cool electronic equipment to map pressure vs. time in the intake tubes.

Dave is THE man when it comes to this stuff. Lots 'o kudos.

on a personal note met Dave many moons ago at KOSH, first time when the -4 was still in its original config no fastback, polished alu. Started talking with the man and his engine install, I remember him saying ?Wanna have a look? no problem!?. No mean feat took off the cowlings to show and describe his perfect work for the better part of an hour, all the while I was shooting a zillion picts
Thanks Dave!

A true gentleman aviator

Agree. Dave has talked to many folks about what he has done to his RV. Very sharing with his information and experiences. A tremendous guy in this community.

As an aside, I am interested in what Dave is using for exhaust wrap and it's effects. Could you ask Dave please?
