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

Oh - I'll Add-

Living in the Bay- High Altitude Performance gains would actually be
tremendously appreciated - It would be nice to be able to reliably and
comfortably make it over the rockies/fly to-from Tahoe, etc... I know
this is pushing a Stock 140 pretty hard.

Also... Anyone out there try putting all 3 mods on a single
aircraft?... I mean - I've read the reviews of the powerflow/laminar
demonstrator plane... I wonder how such an animal would perform with
the LASAR system installed as well?

(I know this makes zero financial sense... 'just buy a faster plane'
and all those good things... I mean this only as a 'what if?'
question)

Everyone that I have talked to that has added the Powerflow system,
loves them. I have a C-172F with the Lyc 180 hp conversion and I am
thinking the same thing. More hp, less fuel burn, GW insignificant.
