Welcome, Mike! Better make the C182 a RG if you're looking for 150+ KTS! Post pics of the project! Doc

I'll try to answer several questions above in this response
1) IO-550-D = Rocket Ship ? I was told at 60 knots they got 1,700 feet of climb - I'll be happy as a clam if I can Cruise Climb it at 1,000 feet per minute at 90 to 100 knots
2) Takes an 182 RG to get to 150+ ? Again, I'm told at 5,000 feet and 18 gph, with gap seals in place it Trued Out at 156 knots - and I'm replacing the wheel pants as I paint with Knots 2 U Wheel Pants, Exhaust Fairing and Cowling Fairing - here's to hoping for maybe a few more knots ?
3) What's going in the New Garmin Panel ? JPI EDM 930 G500 GTN 750 / 650 GTX 345 350c Audio Panel Flight Stream 510 S-TEC Fifty Five X
Flint Aero Internals added by AirPlains = 98 gallon useable
GAMI's
So, I'm set for LOP should I so choose
Fully realizing I'll be viewed as "not too bright" putting all of that into a Legacy / 40-year old 182..... Ya got to remember, the airplane needed EVERY thing, and I started with a very / low time / 1,515 hour hull in great condition - once you get started, it's hard to quit, and every time I turned around, "for just another $1,000 or $2,000 I could add more
Case in point, I struggled buying a used 430 WAAS for $4,000 or more, when I bought a GTN 650 for $6,500
Plus I benefited from two different 2016 Garmin Rebate Programs, 2016 Oshkosh and 2016 Christmas Season - combined over $6,000 in Garmin Rebates
I looked an Restart 182s that had non WAAS G1000 platforms that needed $35,000 upgrades ?
If I get to fly it for 10 to 20 years, I'll be able to justify the speed to myself
I plan to do Alaska, Canada, some Mexico, Florida and the Bahamas - our version of an RV..... more affordable than a twin or Big 6 Place with a legal 1,150 pound useful load, and about as much as I want to load otherwise, as that IO-550 will lift anything, however, you have to respect the structural integrity of the airplane along the way
I'm a 1,900 hour, IFR, ASEL / MEL pilot with 800 hours multi
I just didn't want to afford a Twin, but would have liked one.....

Have you looked into the BRS chute for the 182?
