Back in the late 70's I flew a Dirty Bird 40 that had an HB40 PDP with a tuned pipe. Very smooth and wicked fast. It was a fun airplane to fly. Almost as fast as my Mach 1 with a piped 60. We initially built it to fly at a couple of the smaller field we used but that didn't really work out that well. It was just too fast.
