That has not been my experience. I have however flown a 152 with a 150hp conversion. That one did of course climb much better than other 150s and 152. I think there are also different props available for these airplanes, such as climb or cruise props. Did the 150 you refer to perhaps have a cruise prop, resulting in higher cruise speeds but poorer climb rates?
