Default need engine recommendations, please

Hello all you gurus of the burning fuel...

I have just started assembling the BH FW 190 and need a recommendation on power plant... the goal is to go really fast (unless someone tells me I'll sheer the wing off this ARF). There is a guy at the flightline with a big Zero that really moves... I see alot of slow warbirds putting around and I'm hoping for a thrill... I want this plane well over 100MPH and have endless climb.

I have a DLE 20 recently become available as I stuffed a Sukhoi this weekend (less than an hour of runtime). I'll need a new plug and muffler (btw... if it crashed on a plane that had the motor inverted in the cowl and the crash broke off the plug will the ignition be damaged since you cant have the ignition on without it connected to a plug???)

Also, I just traded a Saito 180 for a DLE 30 and hope to have it later this week... It was a trade with a gent all the way from Florida and hope the engine will be good to go... (i like the ease of gas! the Saito burned an ounce a minute, whereas the DLE can run for 30+ minutes on a fill up). Will a DLE 30 be enough to pull this bird around the sky?

The cowl is huge on this plane. I'm pretty sure I can fit bigger but wanted expert advise...

thanks a bunch in advance
