"...The FAA has approved Service Bulletin 17-009 that allows the pilot to use additional horsepower from the aircraft’s Lycoming 0360-J2A. Previously, the allowed power had been 145 horsepower. The new rating allows the pilot to utilize 160 horsepower without any negative implications to operating costs or additional inspections..."

Steady as she goes eh. Start out conservative and if nothing breaks boost it a bit more and so on. Bit more horsepower increase left in the Lyc 360.

I note when Schweizer derated the 300C back about 10 horsepower and came out with the 300CB that many component life's were dramatically increased. Interesting that there is apparently no component life decrease mentioned in the article. To me that backs up the conservative start approach of Gumball with their G2.
