There is a point of no return. More HP still may not benefit in speed. Build it light and clean. Also, more HP is more $$$ both in initial cost and fuel burn. Good luck. Gary

(approximately 230-260 lbs dry weight and 125hp at 2600 and 130hp at 2800). The weight is about the same as the Corvair, but the horsepower is a bit more. What do you think?
