.....yes, that would indicate as such. The state of tune is what I would look at to set up a pipe. For instance, using the MAS 11-7 1/2 prop (a standard on 60 engines for decades) a K&B .61 will turn it a t 12,000 flat....an OS .61FSR will turn it at 14,000 flat....a totally different state of tune. Therefore I would use a longer pipe on the K&B and try to enhance to torque of the engine, and on the OS I would use a shorter pipe and drag every last ounce of RPM and HP out of it. This is what I have been getting at from the start. Piping it to scream it's guts out may make it blow in a short period of time. On the other hand, if it was a torgue motor, and you propped it as such, it might last a long time (low rpm).
