Has vapor lock been a problem using auto gas?  Do you forsee any

problems using this

engine and auto gas at high altitudes?

I am asking about torque because it does have some bearing on the

overall engine/aircraft

performance as well as P-factor on take-off and other high power

setting attitudes.

Thanks for the forum.  The discussions have been quite entertaining

and improving my understanding

of this engine.

Perry was right about the vapor lock with EFI, just not a problem at any
altitude.

P-factor on a counterrotating prop is no big deal either.  You press on
whichever pedal is required to keep the airplane going down centerline of
the runway.  In no-wind conditions this means left pedal instead of right
(on Lyc powered planes).
