I believe you could get to 2.5 with correct prop and jetting. At this moment, I am nowhere near. Once I get EGT/CHT where I want them, I will start leaning cruise jetting.
A friend of mine did something like this for his 3300 Jab. He is always fooling thit his engine.
Flying LOP and claims 2.5 gph. in a Kitfox.
