I'm looking to use a soarwhale as an airborn carrier for flying mounts or rock tossing giants, but they move way too slow for my taste. Whats the best way to get them moving? A custom item with hustle(XPH) for 2,000gp or a custom item with cloud wings(SS) for 12,000gp are the only options I've come up with so far.

possibly make your own/have your own magical item made that utilizes the horsesoes of speed enchantment except instead of land it increases fly? maybe a collar or something

Why not just pull a Monte Cook and template the hell out of it? There are a few that boost speed and add maneuverability.

(A funny one to use would be Psimech, from Hyperconcious (Malhavoc Press; by Bruce Cordell, author of 3.5 psionics. Most XPH-fans consider it a secondary sourcebook, more approachable than any other 3rd party book. By and large, I'd agree, except for a few things -- psionic lich in particular, but psimech as well. I hate the template, think it breaks the psionic feel manyfold and doesn't sit right in ANY D&D game -- but it turns your soarwhale into a jet-propelled flying carrier with electric countermeasures.)
