Specs.. Are they legit?

There is a lot of Talk about speed specs.  An with Racing aircraft that race reno there can be some real variance.  The basic airframes used from a Shoe String to a SnooShoo or old Cassutt 11m often stays the same but different modifications and how hard you run the engine makes changes in top speed.  I'm going to present Specs that I feel are honest and represent real world numbers and no hype.  Top speeds represent running beyond traditional RPM's  Performance is based often on keeping it light and clean.
