PA28-140b 150 hp converting to 160 hp. I realize we are talking about an increase of only 10 hp, however, there must be some benefits in performance. I have read posts indicating better climb performance as a benefit. What about Airspeed? I would think airspeeds would increase by at least 2-3 kts, is that correct? Can you carry a bit more weight/payload in the airplane with the increase in hp?

Anything with regards to overall Aircraft performance/benefits (going from 150 hp to 160 hp) would be appreciated.
