    If you can replace withBarelliym prop & shaft you will gain 15 mph. It’s big $$ but that’s what made the German Messerschmitt our fly our stuff. The p-51 has Byrel titanium mix too. Changed the outcome of a war & started the Byerl rush in Brasília. I’ve seen a Byrelliym katana before so I guess you could make a speed prop outa it. Will cost 10 k but will help hold world record down easy. Best wishes,stay low , Mr Gofast! My friend David says hey. His Pop Don built Formula / Donzi / Magnum / Ciggerette.

    The only thing faster would be.... a plan I came up with in the '70's to run on liquid hydrogen and oxygen.
    This would be a very simple engine, no valve train needed just direct injection 2 cycle, and with over 6000 pounds of gas pressure to super supercharge it..
    It was never allowed to see the light of day, since it would naturally exhaust pure water, run under water, and even out into space.
    Yet.... even 'tho after some 80 pages of plans were stolen and made secret, I am not even allowed to post the name, hope springs eternal.
