Hi guys,
On my RV-3B, I am converting my 150 hp (with 7.0:1 compression ratio) narrow-deck O-320 to EFI and electronic ignition.
I'll have a new fixed pitch prop, most likely a Catto on there. Craig will want to know my power figures in order to make me a suitable prop. Which poses the interesting question:
How much (if any) power will I be likely to gain?
Substituting the carb with a properly dimensioned throttle body.
Keeping the hot intake manifold (with intake tubes running through the hot oil sump)
Running the engine low down (it's all class A above my head here) and most likely ROP.
Keeping the 7.0:1 pistons
Running on Mogas
What power figures can I expect?
Thanks
Hans
