I have a carb on my O-360 with dual P-mags and can easily fly LoP.
My typical flight is at 8500 to 11500 feet, 150 to 155 TAS and less than 7 GPH LoP.
Here is a picture of an extreme non-stop flight from Houston, TX to Greenville, SC.
I have one photo showing me running 141 KTAS while burning 3.1 GPH LOP.
It is the dual P-mags that make this happen.
With 650 hours on my FP carbureted -9, I would put the money into fuel injection before I bought a CS prop.
