I have to admit that what I have for Tomahawk is pure hearsay. On the other hand, a 360 hp engine on a Yak-52 (almost twice as heavy as PA38) is known to affect the stalling/spinning behaviour, and the flight manual explicitly prescribes to pull the throttle to idle while recovering from a spin / incipient spin.
