Well, there is this kit to boost your Tomahawk to 125 hp. However, so
far I could not find statements on speed gain and fuel burn.

So my questions are
o How fast do you go with it?
o How much fuel do you burn?


A 12hp gain over the factory engine would not do much for cruise speed
(5kt?) or change fuel burn noticeably. The climb rate might be a bit
better though

You can soup up a VW, it's still a VW.
