Turbo-props aside (don't have that much cash), what is the best engine out there for the rocket. ie. IO-340k... What if I had the cash for new (not likely but...) Has anyone put the Cont IO550 in it? What about electronic ignitions (which ones have worked the best)? I know some guys have started with the basic Aztec engine (O-540) and put fuel injection on it, and higher comp pistons and are getting around 390 HP? What do you guys think? Thanks, and I've got parts of my web page working, and since it's my first try, I would love comments. www3.telus.net/public/deucharj Jeff ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:13:34 PM PST US From: "Archie" Subject: Re: Rocket-List: Engines --> Rocket-List message posted by: "Archie" > --> Rocket-List message posted by: "F1Rocket" > > I loved the thread on interior colors, so I thought I would ask one of my own: > > I'm sure just like interiors, engines are very personal, but I have to ask.

(at least not at 2750 rpm) A pulsed injection system AKA FADEC will increase power over the factory system.
