Okay, this will show my ignorance , but I was comparing the RV-10 with the Lancair ES. If you hang a Cont. IO-550 310 hp in front of an ES, you get a reported cruise speed of 225mph. With the IO-360, you get 200mph. I couldn't help but notice that the lesser hp engine gives the same reported speed as a -10 with the IO-540 260hp. I was wondering if the airframe of the -10 will support the larger engine, or if this would even be a prudent consideration?
