My ST 3250 with Perry pump and pump carb.
10% "normal" fuel.
32 deg F and 2700 ft ASL.
TNC tach
Stock Bisson pitts muffler
Menz ultra 20x10 6800 rpm
Biela 18x10 3-bld 6000 rpm
Bisson pitts muffler with the pinched ends cut off.
Menz ultra 20x10 7300 rpm
Biela 18x10 3-bld 6500 rpm
Turbo-Jett Muffler
Menz ultra 20x10 6900 rpm
Biela 18x10 3-bld 6000 rpm
Perhaps the Turbo-Jett is too small even though it falls within the size range for this engine.

You are running at about the limits of the engine. That is why the numbers are similar. That is a lot of prop. Impressive it is turning up at 7000 though.
The 3250 is not agressively timed, but usually gets a bit of boose from the turbojett.
From the rpm's you noted, it looks like you are running below a point where the turbo can do much good. The large engine version tuned range is in the 7500-8500 rpm area.

Hello,
Using a "mousse can" type exhaust system the following was noted:
Menz 20x10 ultra 7400 rpm
Biela 18x10 3-bld 6700 rpm
I want to run this engine in the 6500 to 7500 rpm range to keep it in a good power band and have reasonable rpm to fly with.
So far it appears to be turning right with the 40cc gassers.
I also reinstalled the "K" carb and power is the same as the Perry pumper.
I'll try some "ST" fuel next and note any differences.
Thanks
John

Hello,
I ran some ST fuel with 10% oil in it and found no significant increase in power.
I did get a much better midrange with both the Perry and stock "K" carb.
The "mousse can" exhaust is real peaky.
