TBM can slow down and make a trip slower. Did that one day last summer. Didn't want to stop and pulled power back and with an average 38kt HW made it non stop in 4:36. Had 62 gallons on landing VMC. Wife three full size dogs and luggage.
Youll have fun! I'm sure about that. Haha, ok I thought I had to have been reading that incorrectly. We flew to the final four in Dallas a few years ago in my brothers PC-12 and had the worst case scenario. We had 100kt headwinds on the way down and had 100kt headwinds on the way home. Trip took 5 hours each way and it was only a 700nm trip.

Be sure to read the notams. They have arrival and departure procedures similar to how they do at Oshkosh but less intense.
