Having read a bunch of stuff on this forum and other places, one question still nags in the back of my mind.

I'm building an RV-10, Vans recommends a Lycoming 540 producing 210 - 260 HP.  When considering the possibilities of a Mazda rotary, obviously the ultra sexy choice is one of those 3 rotor 20b's.  But in a recent post Bill Dube pointed to a Renesis RX8 13b 6 port engine on e-bay where the seller states 250HP.

You know where I'm going....

Can a 13b built and configured to put out that HP in a RV-10 last, be happy, etc.?
