So I have a Powerflow system for the Cherokee, YAY!!!! And I found a 60 pitch prop for a pretty reasonable price as well, sitting in a crate in the hangar. I'm not planning on installing them until I finish my Private Pilot, which should be sometime in April - I've only got about five hours of flying left to do.
I already have the 160hp STC installed. With only aileron gap seals and a 58" prop, I see about 102-104mph at 2350 and 124-125mph at 2600rpm in level cruise at 4500ftMSL. I can sustain a climb at 900fpm in cool air on initial climbout at VY. That's just me solo with 1/2 tanks.
My question is for you people that have modded your 140s already - what kind of speeds, climb, and useful ceiling are you getting with 160HP, Powerflow, and 60" prop pitch?
