In addition, mountain flying is less dangerous. Ground speeds are still
higher, and the prop can't convert the horsepower to quite as much
thrust
as it would at sea-level. But it's not nearly as much a reduction as
I'd
get without the turbocharger. Acceleration, even at max gross, is good
as
is the climb rate (handy when you are surrounded by high terrain ).


Actually a constant speed prop converts HP into thrust about the same at
all
(reasonable) altitudes. That is one of the great advantages of a CS prop.

Some of them.

In the Bonanza conversions, you would need a new prop or else your engine is
placarded to limit MP.
