If you want to go faster then I suggest you select another ride. With an aircraft which begins to lose control authority above 340 m.p.h. and starts shedding parts at 450 m.p.h. (if you're careless) you are really missing the point asking for more speed in this aircraft. In my humble opinion.

It can easily pull a blackout at 400mph, so long as you don't use combat trim.

the mustang pilots I have talked to (current ones that fly todays warbird mustangs) say you have a scan that involves checking the engine temperature gauges every few seconds... airspeed, temp, alt, temp, heading, temp. not to read to much into such off the cuff remarks but I would think the merlin does not take kindly to overheating from any cause including running at extremely high power settings.

I've smoked depleted octane, and synthetic octane. However not high octane...

If the KI84 gets high octane gas then all of the American and British planes that used 150 octane need it too. KI84 is good enough already.
