Ed,
I'm reminded of the bet made by Kelly Johnson, the Chief Designer of the SR-71, (and many others). He placed an open bet that if anyone could find a single system on the plane that was simple the claimant would get the $100. Nobody even made a claim let alone won it!
Hang in there!
Bill

Thanks, Bill 
 
Always an education, when talking about intake/port configurations (and many other things) on this list. Seems what might appear at first blush to be the case - isn't. 
 
 Yes, I had though that if I had my 13B dynamically balanced, the rotors and counterweighs lighten, and perhaps a bit more oil pressure, that my old 13B would get up there in the ball park with the Renesis power-wise, but when I considered the cost - I decided it would probably be smarter to go with a newer model engine rather than spend that money on modifying the older 13B. 
 
Besides, if I produced any more power, I would have to "adjust" my cooling system to handle the greater heat rejection required. Sigh, are there no simply changes? {:>)
