Default Dave Patrick thrust issues?

If you go with more power then you may need more right thrust. Bigger engines have more P-factor, Torque, and Spiraling Slipstream, requiring mroe right thrust to offset. My DP Extra was good with a Moki 1.8. I set up my thrust line by pulling vertical and seeing if the plane wants to pull one direction or the other, and setting the thrust angle to counter that.
