 Yes, but I got to fly in an IO-360 powered Cozy with one and the
takeoff felt like we were being
 fired out of a slingshot. This was push-you-back-in-your-seat
performance. Owner claimed it cut
 his takeoff roll in half. Cozy's are not known for stellar takeoff
performance.

   Hi Chrissi
   It is hard to compare apples to oranges as my coot a completely
different bird but most coots are flying with IO-360's with Hartzel
props and we are a dead match for water takeoff, however I do cheat
and use nitrous for about five seconds and cruise speed is a match
and I have better high altitude performance but they do beat me on
the climb out.
  I run a 13b naturally aspirated with a 5 blade warp drive and I know
that prop wont work well at high speed but I think with a good fixed
pitch prop on your turbo motor you should leave them in the dirt.

Ken checking the fuel. That little bit of blue showing behind the pilot's

seat

is the nitrous oxide bottle.

How's the new airplane coming Ken?

Just a nit note - Solly has an MT for his Super Pulsar 100 (IO240). he
installed it and
flew for about 4 hours, and put the fixed pitch wood Sensenich back on. He
said
that altho take off and climb were good, cruise (???) and top speeds were
down
about 10mph. (I suspect a bit of operator error) Vance J

Or perhaps pitch stop adjustment.
