I am a few days away from ordering the emp kit for my 9A ...after a full year of researching homebuilt options, especially the Vans lineup. Recently I saw a Nine (w/ 0-320) for sale that advertised 140kts cruise at 9gph. I find those numbers, well, underwhelming. They seem shy of what most 9/9A drivers experience. I would be woefully disappointed if my completed Nine evidenced that performance. Are my expectations too high, or is 140kt@9gph really "below the mean" ?
