I have heard that 115/145 is made up once a year for the Reno Air Races but is otherwise not available. I just read an article about the C-119 which uses the same R-3350 engine as the B-29 though I am sure the variants are different. IIRC the pilot of the C-119 stated that with 100 Low Lead fuel the engine put out about 2400 HP instead of 3500 but with water injection could put out about 3400. John Dupre'
