You can expect to get 150 - 200 HP depending on intake system.  I got 160
using a simple carburetor setup (I used 3 Mikuni
           motorcycle CV carbs).   Using a tuned intake and EFI I now get 180 - 190
HP and slightly better fuel burn numbers (at any given

           How do you know how much power you get without putting the engine on a
dyno?

           All my horsepower estimates are based on flight test comparisons with
other RVs powered with
           Lycomings.  I used to keep up with the guys powered with  O - 320s (i.e.
160 HP) Now I can keep up
           with (or slightly beat) O - 360 powered RVs.   Not a perfect method but it
does give a good relative
           comparison to those "alternative" engines.

This is a mess Tracy. I don't know what you did to your computer.
Did you or Laura "upgrade"  your computer recently?
