Well, as everyone knows, the P100 has some limitations, including the speed, hot and high performance and range that is ok, not anything to boast about.
The next step up is more likely a P300- a huge jump in ‘how much plane’ one gets, and one definitely gets the increase in performance and range…
Is there any way to get additional performance, range, without having to go to a P300?
Would the ‘engineers’ on this site comment if it may be possible to perhaps install a longitudinal tube along the fuselage floor, inside, on both sides and have it connect to each wing tank for additional fuel.
Could one then get an STC for the FADECS and engines to increase the thrust, perhaps to 1900lbs each?
It would make the plane ‘non supported’ of course, and one would say goodbye to the engine program and EEC.
But, sure would be fun to fly for a few years and likely cheaper than paying for a P300?
I am only a high school graduate, so please be gentle with your critique of the above thoughts….and that’s all they are…thoughts.

You can't really turn a certified airplane into an experimental airplane and use it for anything other than flight testing. Unfortunately, the cost of adding the additional fuel you want would likely cost more than buying a new 300. As far as thrust goes, the engines are already maxed out so anything you do to increase cruise thrust would void any engine program you might have. There is a little hack you can do to get more cruise thrust and therefor more speed but obviously a little more fuel flow.
