I have a 1965 M20E. It was my grandfather's Mooney, so my airplane will always have more than just monetary value for me. I am very interested in your work as my grandpa and I always talked about the LoPresti cowl. Lo Presti quoted 25K in hardware alone to do their modded cowl. I can't do that despite the looks, the improved RAM air, the cooling, and the speed improvements. I think about it a lot though.
Equally as expensive is an M20 turbo for about 30K in hardware. This modification also requires a J cowl and that is about as expensive as the Lo Presti cowl and a performance exhaust. Hmmm... since you are removing my RAM air option from my M20E (because I probably will buy your cowl), you should think about an STC for turbo normalization on the vintage Mooneys that works with your cowl. Maybe starting with the 1965 M20E series... I don't see anyone else asking you with this absurd (but very hopeful) suggestion.
I wish I was talented enough to do what you are doing. Good job on your innovation and work. It looks great.
