Lou, you missed the point of the original question. He wanted to stuff
a detuned 12-A into an RV7 to make it fit the sport pilot regs.

Why detune anything, it is a bad idea.

You can comply with sport pilot regs for speed by simply placing the
redline
that corresponds with the max speed for the regs on the airspeed
indicator.
As an experimental a/p that is your decision to make. If you placard the
airplane
to comply with the rule, you are prevented from operating the airplane any
faster
even if you have GOBS of throttle available.

Don't bank on it. WOT is what they are after. Any restriction must not be
easily over-ridden, especially from the cockpit.
