I installed a 54x54 Sensenich on my KR2S after breaking my 54x52 in that 
deer strike I had. At 3000' and WOT (3400 RPM), I am getting a TAS of 163 
mph. At 3000 RPM she drops down to 146 MPH. The nose wheel is the drag devil 
on the tri-gear. As Langford stated, by adding a wheel pant to just the nose 
gear alone, you will increase your performance by about 8 MPH and putting 
pants on the mains will give you another few mph.
