That said, if an engine is run regularly its far less of a problem
Have you seen the latest intake (tub/plenum) mod for the Saito FA-450R3/FG84R3?

On the FG84 it turns a 23X12 @ 6240RPM. That's about 7.75HP & the CHTs are within 4F on all 3 cylinders. The stock backplate only baseline turned that prop @ 5600RPM & CHTs varied widely.
