Read a little on the Chelton systems. VERY highly regarded...may be superior to Garmin or Avidyne...very costly..
Thanks Kent. Here is a link to a 2007 Plane & Pilot article that gives specs for a very comparable aircraft... however my fuel cap is lower (74 gal) and my useful load is a bit lower due to extensive panel and interior. Notably, the BRS parachute system comes with a gross weight increase STC, so the NET result is about 65lb INCREASE in useful load (see the second link below).

The Plane and Pilot link worked for me, not the FlyingMag though...
Thanks Commish. Incredible what can be accomplished! With proper funding...lol
I can see the speed vs fuel burn is VERY favorable!
