I am sure you could get into the 180's if you dove into it but I am not a speed demon either especially since I am new to turbines and just obtained my waiver so I still fly conservatively. The VT80BL has been flawless on Diesel with 5% Kingtech oil. I fly in Houston where it is hot and muggy and the engine has not missed a beat thus far. The Joker has been a great first turbine airframe and the Jets Munt engine has complimented the airframe well. A match made in Heaven.
