Larry, I still think you have too much prop on your plane. When I had my Sterba on the O-200 cut down and pitched a little less on the M-1 my climb rate went from about 900 FPM to about 1,300 and cruies speed increased about 8 MPH. I would expect you to get very similar results on the KR. You should be turning up that O-200 at at least 3,100 to 3,200 RPM in cruise.
