With wheel pants I get 122 kts TAS at 5.0 gph at about 5450rpm. I was getting 118 or so without the wheel pants. Typically a couple hundred pounds less than gross. Prop pitch has the most to do with cruise speed, I think. Lttle changes, big difference. That last 200 pounds of weight also makes a big difference in takeoff performance.
