Hi Dick,

I read the "numbers quoted" by various users -then sometimes wonder how anyone new to this stuff,can make heads or tails of the apparant wide differences.
One guy quotes 8000 plus on a 50 size engine with a tiny prop, another quotes on a smaller engine using a big prop!

....and then there's the guy that posts great RPM numbers but doesn't even say what engine they're for.

Sorry Dick, I just couldn't resist.

I was definitely guilty above of not stating the muffler on my Taurus is a pitts-style, similar, if not made by, J&A. Also, the numbers were achieved on a brand new motor, at 300' altitude, and about 55 degrees.
