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?

Thanks

I owned a Tomahawk for several years. Realistically, it was a 100-105 knot
aircraft - the book said 108, but that was for a factory new airplane.

Anyway, I just ran the numbers and you should expect to burn 7 gph at 75%,
and you'll see maybe 4 additional knots of airspeed. The biggest
improvement
will be in climb performance. At sea level, you should see an additional
250

That confirms what I have long suspected: I could only justify it to
operate from a higher altitude airport--which is just not in the cards.
