Default Engine for trainer?

..I have the OS 40 on my trainer and have no problem with it.
I do have to run it full bore though.
But I also run it with a rich mixture maybe to rich but it rolls and will loop very smooth.
I did set the elevator throw for as much as I can get out of it so I guess that helps the loops.
The prop I have is a 10X6
Just adding my 2 cents.
