Are those JATO bottles on either side of the tail rack? I bet that would would
really help when passing semi-trucks on an uphill grade. Maybe you could mount
them on the Kolb to help that 277 on a hot day.
On a serious note, that's a very nice looking bike and airplane you've got there.

One more thing to consider about the vibration. That wood airframe on the mini-max
likely soaks up a whole lot more vibration than the chrome-moly cage on the
kolb.
I found the IVO to be a good match for the 277. I was getting over 200 pounds of
static thrust with a 60" Ivo on my 277. I did have some cooling problems with
the free-air 277 in a pusher configuration. I built several different aluminum
air scoops to direct the slipstream across the cylinder head. I could never
prevent the aluminum from cracking either at the mounting points or on one of
the bends. I became convinced that any long-lived scoop bolted on a 277 would
need to be made from composite materials. In the end I was able to richen the
mixture and keep the CHT within limits without a scoop. The engine was running
too rich, but it's really easy to decarbon a free-air 277.
