Lorn,

Thank you very much.  With that kind of performance, it may definitely be
worth the nearly 8K of savings for an O-320 vs IO-320.

For the rest of the list,

I'm still wondering about fuel injection though.  With the kind of
performance Lorn is talking about, I'm wondering what advantages there are
with fuel injection with respect to service ceiling.  I know what the
advantage is in surface based vehicles, but I'm not too clear what the
advantages are in aircraft.  Does it increase performance and efficiency?
Does it reduce the rate of fuel consumption?  Does it require more
maintenance?  Does it have an effect on rate of climb?

Thanks,
Curtis N753K
