Apparently it=20 achieved 240 hp at 7500 with the up stream injectors and the slide=20 throttle. This is a low number. I would have expected more h.p. The=20= engine was leaning out at higher rpm due to problems in mapping the=20 EC2. Further testing will be with a prop is planned sometime in the=20 future. The engine idled at fairly low rpm and had good throttle=20 response but without a prop I don't know what that means. Also, no new=20= news in the last few weeks about Mistral. I think the other list shut=20= down for Oshkosh. If anything of interest pops up, I will forward it=20= to you.
