It really depends on what you want to do this is not a car turbo kit this is built to work in a aviation world with the stress that means good parts but complete it can be done for $12000 + install but it really depends

Default Be Careful.......

20 Kts TAS over redline.

You could be breaking new ground into unknown territory regarding flutter.

If you think not, because of the low indicated airspeed, you should probably read THIS

Default Air race

Sure sounds fun bob would love to go work will dictate if posible the plane is ready
Fuelflow question how much fuel does a o 360 burn at 2700 rpm with 27.7 mp @ 98% mine takes 13.1
And to all the guys out there i have read about vne and flutter til i turned blue
I do thank you for your concern
We all turn out to be test pilots in the first 25 to 40 hours some of us just keep testing the limits but done the right way
And we will get thru it safely
You just cant find limits on the ground in your hangar and it takes a long time to work up to the most extreme limits
Babysteps til you find your personal limits

Mike, I agree with you regarding testing everything performance wise... Except for pushing to the edge of a flutter margin. All professional test pilots know this. With flutter, you can't push to the edge and stop when you start getting close.
It either flutters or it doesn't. If it does, you probably need to just about 100% plan on exiting the airplane.

I also agree that we are all test pilots in the first 25-40 hrs, but there is one big difference... all those hrs are flying within a flight envelope that has been pretty well proven by thousands of RV's having flown 10s of thousands of hours. This high alt., high speed flying you are doing, could very possible be a first for RV-6 to do so. Ever.
In my mind, that makes it quite different.
