Can anyone tell me if 200-220 H.P. is possible and reasonably reliable from a rotary
with Tracys E.F.I,. and if so how. Porting  rpm etc. etc.

 Thanks paul, Mike

Mike you will probably have to go to peripheral ports unless you want to turbo
charge.

See the ACRE NL web site http://home.earthlink.net/~rotaryeng/ 
for details on peripheral ports.


Another alternative is use a roughly 3:1 PSRU ratio and wind the engine up
to 8000 RPM or so for max HP. Most of the guys are using a 2.17:1 PSRU
and limiting max RPM to about 6200 RPM.
