I'm intrigued by the 200hp "high performance" defiition.Does this go on rated power or actual?
(i.e. a Lycoming 0-360 is rated at 200hp,but will only develop about 170[for example] if fitted with a course fixed pitch prop.however the same engine in an experimental,slightly breathed on {ported and balanced with high comp pistons,electronic ignition and a good exhaust system } with a constant speed prop can produce 220-230 h.p.).
