And what is the maximum HP of this engine that you have in mind?


300? 350?

thing is, aircraft engines are actually good and so are automotive
engines... the difference in advertised power is just that aircraft
engines are designed to be run at 75% power all day long and car
engines for short peaks of a very high number....

just different design objectives.
