Brian,
The 8200 was with the tuned pipe after rpm have settled. Similar results have been achieved with special homebuilt in-cowl mufflers.
Scou,
I too have seen many rpm figures on the internet, and it seems like I never can equal those rpm with ANY engine. I must be doing something wrong? Yet my engines perform as well, or better than my fellow fliers, and I often de-tune them for better all-over handling.
Or are those rpm figures like the speed we boasted for our tuned mopeds when we were much younger
PS
some serious test, done together with other IMHO trustworthy fliers all over the world obtained comparable results as I did, so continent influence can be neglected
