Default Thrust angle for Kadet Senior

I purchased a Kadet Senior a while ago and I'm putting an OS 91 in it (I know, I've heard all the "over-powering" arguements already.) My dad is building a wing with less dihedral so I can do more with it than just fly it around and do loops and landing practice. Question is, what amount of right thrust should I put into the mounting of the engine? Should it be more or less with the larger engine? I don't fly much over 1/2 throttle unless I'm going up or holding steady pointed straight up but I'd like to have a plane that flies nice also. Thanks for the input in advance.
