 I was surprised to see 5 or 6 Eggenfellner Subes at Osh., all on RV6s.  They
 were all at the Eggenfelner display, not the flight line.  2 of them had the
 look of installations that either had some ground run time or had flown.
 They are still claiming 165 HP but all other Sube 2.2 & 2.5 users seem to be
 getting 125 - 140.  Bob (can't remember last name) who won last year's Sun
 100 race at 207 MPH in his turbocharged Sube powered RV-4  was the only one
 I know who made comparable power to my NA 13B.  He blew engine #4 (threw a
 rod) about 6 months ago and Tom Wyatt (Turbo Tom) who prepared the engines
 told him he thought it was time to try something else.
