PA-31 Info
lando
I tell you how!
Start with a bucket full of Turtle Wax, polish the fuselage and wings for 2 days non stop untill smooth as a babys bottom then go for a flight with minimum fuel, full forward trim, 75% power with no one on board but yourself and i can assure you will you will get 160kts no problems.

Hi Guys,
I used to fly Navajo's Single-Pilot-IFR and have about 1700 hours in them.
The PA-31-310 is what we used to call "The Baby Navajo", 310 HP Lyc's, different fuel and flap systems and a shorter fuselage.
The PA-31-350 is the "Chieftain", it too had variations depending on the year it was manufactured. The main differences were the Flap systems. The older models had one similar to a single-engine Cessna 152 with spring-loaded toggle switch and the newer models with a lever that actually corresponded to Flap setting plus a few other "improvements" over the 310.
The T1020's were equiped with PT6's rated at 500 hp I believe. A carrier I used to fly for in Alaska had 2 of them equiped with belly pods.
For those looking for study material; I used to have manuals but sold them on Ebay, so you might want to look there.
Cheers!
