Hello Larry,
thanks for chiming in!

I have data on different variants of the R-3350 (regrettably the 972TC18EA is not one of them), some running on 115/145 and others on 100/130. However, comparing those figures isn?t correct but seems to be a reasonable approximation.

Your figures give a 6% reduction in MAP, a 12% reduction in BMEP and a 11% reduction in HP at the same RPM.
This is a somewhat lower reduction than I expected, based on the figures that were available to me.

Interesting information, thanks again!

Christer
