Since there seemed to be a lot of interest in the short stack PF, thought I'd share the first experience with N28745's short stack PF.  Static RPM increased 125 RPM, with a similar increase takeoff/climb RPM.  There is a very marked difference in takeoff acceleration and climb performance.  Engine is at TBO.  Since cruise RPM did not change, no noted difference in cruise performance at this point - we don't have fuel flow instrumentation.  The system is very well made and designed, looks good, and was fairly straightforward to install.  The price is still painful, but I'm a satisfied customer after witnessing the performance gain.  Sorry this isn't more scientific, but I'll be happy to share pics or field questions.

That increase is about twice what has been reported before.
