The Saito 180 seemed to haul this plane around just fine. You can always stick something else really sick on it. I fly my OMP with an MVVS 2.15 gasser and it 3D's just fine at 12# even, but I have a DA50 that would turn it into the absolute beast (and save me 7 - 8oz on my setup.) Ditto if you hung the MVVS 45 or the like on the Golden Eagle.
