If it wasn't bad enough that she gave it to you, that you would put it in your car, and then post a pic..... Geez... A psych eval may be in order here......

True, but if a cheeseburger...or Henrietta...comes with a cold air system, I may have to rethink the timing of this mod!

Funny stuff!

Cheers,

Default Allen, I'm running a Hartzell...

...blended airfoil on my -10.

BTW, a friend of mine has a 300 HP Lyc in his -10 but a three bladed Whirlwind prop and with my (only) 260 HP, I am 7 knots faster at 75% power/8000'.

176K vs. 168K!!

Best,

Cold air intake, direct ram (filter by-passed).
FP prop, 2800 rpm, 187 HP.

Yes, but you buy the chicken for $8k and they'll throw in a free cold air induction system.
