This won't be news to you. The answer to your question is how much do you want to spend? As mentioned in another post Kent Paser's book "Speed with Economy" is very good and the suggestions are common sense and wouldn't cost much. My opinion on the wheel pants is you should definitely install them. If you go the PR type I wouldn't expect an 8 to 10 knot increase in speed. That comes from a design with a lot more HP designed to cruise at a lot higher speed. I would however expect 5. Have you thought about a turbo with intercooler? A good article in this months Kitplanes shows Bill Clapps plane and mentions his intentions to install a turbo. Might be one to keep tabs on.

I have a need for speed...How do I get this thing to go faster? 148 WOT just is not enough for me. I think I need a higher pitched prop. I know adding wheel pants will help some. Maybe an o-360....
