In answer to inquiry about C-75 vs C-85. I accidently deleted the
question.

This conversion involves changing the venturi from 1 - 5/16 to 1- 3/8",
and
replacement of the main jet - from #46 to #45, installing a prop and
cooling
fairing + running the engine to 2575 RPM.

Mine is a C-85, - many coupes have been changed. I'm not sure I would
change
it , today. You do get higher HP, but at an increased RPM, which wears the
engine out sooner ??? If you fly from low altitude field, I would question
the
value of the change. Prop cost alone is $700 + for a used one !

Bottom line - It sounds good to have a higher rated HP, but I think the
truth
is that you really don't gain sufficient increase in performance unless
you
run the engine at the higher RPM -  more noisy and burns more fuel, and
oil.

If you need additional performance - you might consider the 0-200
conversion.
Again, you will see increased take off and climb performance - very little
additional speed, if any - due to the tremendous increase in drag as the
speed
goes up.( by the cube ???) - so maybe you get 2/3 mph increase ???


Fly Safe - Have fun !
