Bob,
I'm not flying a P-port, however I'm building one.
Expectations are between 115 and 125 hp for a single rotor, expect double that with a 2 rotor at around 7,000- 7,500 rpm.
P-port provide better breathing and therefore more power, the inlet and manifold size is designed around the RPM required. Reliability of port design has been questionable unless it's the integral Mazda housings, However Bill Jepson ( Mechanical Engineer is in the process of designing inlets of excellent reliability - read proven design).
What else would you need to know - I wonder?

Is anyone flying with a Mazda 13B peripheral port engine?  If so, how is it working?  Can you describe the advantages and disadvantages?

 

Thanks,

 

Bob Rogers
