I'm not gaining any load/climb nor cruise although the top end may increase a couple miles an hour to around 204 due to the smoothness of the engine. There is a history of that gain. The only thing I am doing is substituting this 180HP for the 180 HP produced by an 0-360. Since I am not using a vac system, mags or jugs, what I am gaining is less maintenance. If you drop a valve in an 0-360 you and wallet are in big trouble. If something happens to this inflight..........run it even if it trashes the engine, I can buy a new totally rebuilt short block, built for aero use, for $3500 or just find another one and rebuild it using all the other accessories. I don't forsee that happening but my gains appear to far outweight anything negative.
