Yes, I do spend a lot of time at 40 - 50% power (just because I enjoy the
ride at that speed) but I have done full power runs at sea level for almost
an hour (plenty of time for temperatures to stabilize) with the engine
sucking down 17 GPH.  Even assuming a lousy SFC of .55 this is at least 185
HP.  (these numbers are for the "new" engine)

Err... I'm afraid that these power settings are pushing the envelope of my
