and neither should you have, @250BHP out of an engine that will go easily to 310 BHP normally aspirated, its hardly even breathing hard. Now there was a personal 6 place twin, if they hadn't turned left instead of right after the flood I reckon they'd still be around and still making them. As I understand it, it just shows how a Board decision that seemed reasonable at the time IMHO and AOOALOO sealed the fate of the company.
I owned an Aztec with Lyco IO-540s and had no probs with them over 4 years and two rebuilds at TBO,
