Can't test the SAP until it gets here...
All will run the same prop, same fuel, same ignition, and no muffler...
The G26 stock muffler takes 800 rpm right off the top..
The DLE muffler takes way less, and Milton Thompson's Area 51 are the least restrictive...
Manufacturer's Hp numbers are mostly useless....Pat Roy knows what the 3ws will do...
He has a DLE 30, so maybe he will come up with some comparisons...
No way to put a rear exhaust on a G26...
Nobody will say how much of each engine is actually MADE in the U S....Most are ASSEMBLED from parts made elsewhere....
The SAP with its rear muffler should be the narrowest, but sometimes the rear exhaust is too close to the firewall...
The RCS 140 front carb rear exhaust was one of the best, too bad it's gone....
I for one don't feel that we need a comparison. Had a real bad experience with one recently.
Comparisons are usually nit picking and pushing ones favorite product and trying to prove to the world that theirs is the best. You are already nit picking at how much is made in the US.
Every engine pulls differently with the same prop. That prop may not be the right one for the application that you have. Please do us a favor and stay away from this topic.
My first and last comment on this subject.
Keep up the good work Tom.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]
