Here is a link to the performance section of the 231 POH. http://lists.aviating.com/mooney/per...erAltitude.pdf It appears that 231mph is achievable at approx 40" & 2700RPM, which the turbo'd engine can achieve at 16k through 20k pressure altitude. I doubt anyone would be willing to run the engine that hard as it is very close to 100% power. 75% @ 20k ~= 220mph 75% @ 24k ~= 229mph
