Put an O-540 in it, though, and look out. I think it would be a real

I still don't see how. A real gas-guzzler, yes.


Well, my O-540-powered Pathfinder, with fixed gear, will absolutely
walk away from an Arrow.


Yes, but at a huge fuel consumption penalty. And I doubt you will walk
away from a 200 HP Arrow very quickly. A 180 HP Arrow is a fair big
doggier than a 200 HP version.
