OK I am trying to narrow down my engine choice. First I don't have the money to go for the 200HP model. So I am left with the 180HP, and I want FI. So that means IO-360. Now comes the induction question, it seems to be a $1000 to get horizontal induction instead of the standard vertical induction. I know I might gain some HP due to ram rise with the proper intake housing using the horizontal induction. I am also concerned about creating more work than I want to at this point. BTW I would use the cowl with the scoop to get the best ram rise. I like the scoop!
I am hoping one of you guys that know more than I can give me some pros and cons of each. What fits the best and is not a lot of extra work, horizontal or vertical. At this point I am not sure if the horizontal is worth the extra money and I don't know if it is more trouble to install. Thanks for any help, I must say it is difficult to get the information I need without being at an airshow. I guess I will have to make sure I get to SnF this year.
Cheers
