Just came up with this chart.  Power curves are based
on Mazda's published specs:

86 NA, 146 HP @ 6500 RPM
87 Turbo II, 182 HP @ 6500 RPM
89 NA, 160 HP @ 7000 RPM
89 Turbo II, 200 HP @ 6500 RPM

If my prop analysis program is correct, my flight
data gives the three points circled in blue.  This
indicates my power curve is below the spec for
the '86 NA.  Could be since it's an old engine.

This plot shows if I had the '89 Turbo engine
I would get 5800 static RPM, instead of 4800
I get now.
