Default Engine power question???

So why would a guy "upgrade" to an O-320 and limit it to 100 HP? What's
the "gain" ???

The placarding probably relates to the STC, which "limits you to 100
hp", for certification purposes.

It is easier to get an STC for a higher power engine if you "limit, via
placards, the max power" to that called out in the original type
certificate.
