Improved power to weight only. No hp involved in AC removal, it does use hp to run it though

12a is generally 101 hp, 13b, 135. Funny thing is the 12a is one of the few rotaries that put out more torque,105, than hp.

thank you both for your replies. Is it true that an 86 n/a puts out around 180 hp?
