Hi All, thanks for the responses, was not meant to be a trick question but
definately a newbie question. I was curious after reading about people using
mazda 13b engines for various homebuilts, and porting them, adding on
various components to boost the hp from 200 to 260+. Seems at a point that
it's overkill if the 200 hp engine is going to provide you with the needed
ponies and rpms to accomplish the same as the 260 hp engine. What would the
advantge be of having the extra horsepower ?

Thanks,

Mark

Does a prop turning at 2300 rpm on a 150hp motor produce more thrust than
a
prop spinning 2300 rpm on a 100 hp motor ?
