The point with respect to the original question is, you are not going to be able to get P-160 level thrust out of a P-120 simply by turning up the maximum RPM - they are totally different motors. At best, by going above the max. allowable RPM for for the P-120 you'll get 2-4 lbs more thrust at the expense of greatly reduced engine life. This is the best-case scenario, in the worst case, the engine will destroy itself as its not balanced for operation much above the max. limit and the higher temp. may destroy it too.

If you want more than 26 lbs of thrust, get a P-160...
