Cherokee 140 - LASAR vs. Powerflow vs. Laminar Speed Kit

Yeah, I'm definitely starting to get the sense that waiting to replace
with upgrades, rather than spend new up front is probably my best bet.

Which means I'll probably do the Laminar Flow stuff first, because
Julie is definitely going to need a paintjob sooner rather than later.

I've actually been considering spending the spare cash on the interior.
I'm already redoing the panel (putting in a standard T)... I was
planning on replacing the carpets with airtex stuff... maybe I should
go ahead and do the seats/sidepanels while I'm at it.

Or... anyone know a good upolstry shop in the Bay area that can do
aircraft interiors if you give them the old ones as templates?

he doesn't feel it was necessarily a waste of money but if/when he gets
another plane he won't install it a second time... Keep your mags
overhauled every 500 hours and you will be fine...

Forget the powerflow muffler unless the current exhaust is shot... To
make more power requires more fuel flow, period! Given that a few %
increase in power means almost no change in cruise speed you are
wasting fuel...

Gap seals and fairings can be worthwhile and if you are determined to
spend, this is where I would spend it......
