I'm not sure what you mean by a better fuel burn?   If it is 310 Hp or 260Hp
max power, that really isn't going to affect your cruise Hp - - is it?

If you are thinking 260 Hp at 8 gal/hour - - then that sounds pretty
impressive.

That would be  8 x 5.82 = 46.6 lbs/ hour  and at 260Hp that would be a BSFC
of ~ = .18, which is twice as good as the best diesel flying.
