Default Can you spell overkill?

I'm considering putting a ZDZ 80 in mine.
--I got a Taurus T52 in mine and in my wildest dreams I cannot imagine any more power. If the throttle ever hung in the open position--it would rip this plane apart in a few minutes. I know people who use this engine in a 1/3 H9 Cap and are tickled with the power--and that is a 90+ inch wing. If you fly in very thin air, I can see where excess power would be necessary--but a ZDZ 80---WOW--oh well--to each his own-----
