Max speed S&L 155 kts at about 3050 RPM. Best performance all round.


That'll be one of those special angled valve O-360's then?

Special because you are allowed to rev it past the redline of 2700 S&L

In the States a couple of months ago, an airshow performer of some note, told me that, "Yeah 2700 is just a guide not a limit. Hell, Stik, I don't never (sic) take her above 3325 - cos that's when the valve train starts to bounce!"

Not pi55ing on your parade, Dave, but to me 2700 is a limit.
