Edit - saw that you updated the post to say it is 110 HP at stock levels and ~15k RPM. I can’t say for sure, but I’d be willing to bet we are talking much close to 200 HP at above 20 psi.

And no doubt you (and many others here) know and or have seen how, sometimes, pulley'ing down BRINGS power back up, because at that point, the rotors are just beating/heating the air and efficiency drops. I think CSP or LMP (or both) posted a video or two showing that. I think Andrew was pushing TREEL1 to near 1000-WHP SAE and pulley'd down a bit and it got happier, but everything you're saying makes sense, and it seems to me, you're posting information people can learn from (obviously - Josh' and King' are always sharing their wealth of experience, too
).
Thanks to you all for taking time to share
