Hi! Rusty
I ordered the 2.85:1 drive, I was planning on street porting but Paul Lamar pointed me in the P-port direction. I was thinking of an Ivoprop 76" 3 blade to with a good street port, I would like to get 200hp. I'm planing on using the lower intake manifold with 15" extentions & I haven't decide on slide throttle plate or?

I want 200hp for a Christavia STOL A/C on floats, Paul Lamar suggested P-pDorting, I was going to use street porting. I've ordered Tracy Crook's PSRU, EM2 & EC2.
Holy cow! And you guys complain about my red html text :-)
Hi Georges. Which PSRU did you order, the 2.17 or the 2.85? If all you want is 200 HP, and you don't mind turning 7500 rpm (which is no problem), then a healthy street port and a 2.85 drive will do what you want.
There are a lot of people working on PP engines, but so far, I don't think any of them have proven the concept in the homebuilt environment. It's true that PowerSport has done it, but at a cost of more than most of us will make in a lifetime. I can't wait until some of these PP guys get flying, but until then, it's unproven. If you want a sure thing, go with a good street port, and 2.85 drive. You could also really screw up your life with a turbo :-)
Cheers,
Rusty (no PP, even though I'd like to try one some day)
