Default Cherokee 140 - LASAR vs. Powerflow vs. Laminar Speed Kit

Yeah, I suppose there is a certain logic in holding back to upgrade the
Exhaust/Ignition systems until they need replacement (whenever that may
be).

What is your impression of the prop tip + repitching mod (especially
with the 160hp stc, which I already have).

Out of curiousity, what type of real-world numbers are you seeing from
your bird?

Scott,
I also have a '67 140. I have the following mods:
AMR&D: 160hp upgrade, prop tip mod, vortex generators
Metco Air: wing tips
Knots2U: flap, aileron and stabilator trim tab gap seals
Powerflow: exhaust
I also have stock Piper wheel pants.

The gap seal kit and Metco tips were definitely worth it. The Powerflow
exhaust is worth it if your old exhaust is on it's last legs. If its in
good condition, I'd wait.
