After engineering and problem solving, I finally decided to fly, and removed my V8 engine installation, and went to the standard TSIO550. I'm glad I did. The V8 engine effort kept me from flying for three additional years. My hanger is one of those hangers mentioned in Brent Regan's closing.

If you are typical, when you are done the result will both please and disappoint. The empirical evidence is clear.
