Hi Jeff!

I'm off to Houston and OKC today for work, but will be back on the 1st of July. Let's try for then if you're still here!
Slumming it in the turboprop world - so you don't have to.

Nope :(
Just flew home yesterday
But I'm around and flying a lot.
Also just go my instrument rating too!

Sorry your planes in such a funk. 

Why not get a 500s

No headaches and a great plane to fly.
They have engine options up to 400hp.

You would just need oxygen

Might be an option but then I could also just remove all my stuff and plug in oxygen.  You also need a supercharged or turbocharged engine to get any advantage in flying high.

Yes, but I've got 380hp geared super charged engines on mine already.  So would need something that could produce that kind of power.  Morris said the Lycoming 350's can due to being lighter and having better props than I can get for mine but never seen one to know either way.
