Paser did NOT have an IO-360.  It was a carbureted O-320.  He did do a lot
of work tuning the exhausts, getting max ram air to the intake, using
reversion cones, etc.  Probably he did not do anything that was not also
done to the the Long.  If he got 180 hp at SL it was through probably
through over-reving.
    His book has acres of charts.  I do not have a scanner.  A sample maybe
you can use for calculation.
ALT;  12,000
OAT  plus 10 (I assume C)
RPM: 2700
MP 17.5
TAS: 219 MPH
GPH  8.0

Thanks for the data points Tom. I will plug them in to my new program
and see what the drag number is.
