Like many of you have already suffered, I'm going through that painful process of chosing a kit. I'm serioiusly considering an RV-9 and an Eggenfellner Subaru 2.5 XT, with Supercharger.
Van's website states the recommended HP for an RV-9 engine to be around 125hp. The 2.5XT has a considerably higher rating.
The Eggenfellner site shows a few RV-9 owners with 2.5's strapped to the front who just seem to love it.
Are horsepower comparisons valid between direct drive and PSRU engines?
Anyone want to talk me out of this?
