Narrative:
Our plane [is a] C172 with G1000 and tis. [An] experimental called position [inbound to the same airport]. We responded with our position. He said we will probably beat him in as he had 80 for ground speed; 29 KT wind. We began our descent to 1;100. Tis reported a target moving from east to west in front of the [experimental]. We let [him] know of the target. He said he was looking 'no joy.' tis showed a conflict with our path. C172 pilot and passenger [were] visually looking for target; but it was pretty hazy. Tis shows no plane is moving behind or ahead on intersecting path. We decide to vy climb at full power. [We were] still looking and still no visual contact. I was taught that the best thing to do is climb in potential conflict as the plane becomes much more visible by showing more surface area.tis showed a -40 and target passing directly underneath. Tis changed target to yellow and audible 'traffic' alarms trigger. At this point I noticed [I was] in vy climb at 2;500 ft [and in class B]. [I] began immediate descent back under the 2;000 ft [class B] shelf and set up for entering the traffic pattern. The [applicable] far here is 'a pilot may deviate from the fars as much as necessary to maintain the safety of his plane and crew.' [I] made call [at] 2 miles for mid 45 upwind for 15. Turn on the adsb to report all the time not just when a sender lights it up.

Title: C172 pilot reported an NMAC with an experimental aircraft at a non-towered airport and during evasive action he entered Class B airspace.
