My calculations shows that 14 gph should give them about 160 -165HP perhaps a bit more

You'd have to convert the RV-3 to giant scale RC model to carry enough
fuel. Their rep at SNF told me their -4 is burning 14 GPH at 140 mph
(about 80-90 hp).

Isn't their engine flying on a Piper of some type?  140 is probably close to max speed for that type of plane, so it would be much more than 90 HP.
