Gee...my turbonormalized IO-550 get SL power to 20,000 feet.

And it's STC'ed.


And your system is at least $30,000 more expensive.

(Assuming you've got a Tornado Alley turbonormalizer)

Yes, it is expensive...and having to cross 14,000 foot mountain ranges to
get anywhere, it damn well worth it. Pretty nice being able to cruise at
12,500 over the flat lands, though, at upwards of 190 kts.

What is the normal rated power of the IO-550 at 12,500, such that this
device is boosting it to 77%?
