I'd be very interested in hearing the results of the static tests, and what prop it is spinning Sounds interesting.

If it runs good and does what you want, I would put it on and go with it. I am not advising you to change anything but during a boring meeting I did the following internet search found the following ideas to "hop up" a Go-Devil engine: Airflow is one of the "easier" ways to get more HP: Burns dual carb intake with dual Solexes. Supersonic intake. Make a Dual Intake. (not sure if this will help an aircraft engine as much as a hot rod) "Any good welding shop should be able to fabricate dual intakes for you. All you really need is a manifold flange, a 90 degree tube, and a matching carb flange. Two of those and you have dual carbs. Compression: There was a "High altitude" version of this engine with higher compression of 7 to 1. The Supersonic cylinder head (Script looks great and you up the compression ratio a little bit and http://mightymo.org/public_html/images/AdobeFiles/L_Hd_Perf.pdf Clifford Performance makes a header for the Go-Devil. http://www.cliffordperformance.net/Merc ... _Code=J258 Or just shave the head a bit. Also: A decent camshaft with proper timing and lift, and machine the block for removable cam bearings. Consider a gear type camshaft drive You can upgraded the ignition system to a Pertronix setup using 12volts.
