faster climb outs springs to mind, 165kts cruise might be nice too : )
Plus, and i guess some of you mountain flyers would be familiar with
mountain waves etc, full power 100kts nose up and still sinking
at 1000fpm or more. not that you need our may even want to use it, but that
extra power may save your life.
Plus it give ATC something to think about when you take off at 150kts
2000fpm climb : ) and they are up there thinking "Stupid little kit planes
shouldnt
be using REAL airports like this one"

I wonder if anyone has switched pistons or thrown a head spacer in a
912s to reduce the compression and then turbo charged it. With the extra
capacity if it was done correctly it should be good for about 130hp or
so. Could be a good way to go
