Am I the only one?

I saw a discussion on this topic somewhere (maybe on this site?) Anyway, as I recall, the consensus was that you were better off to buy a 337, weld the gear down, and remove the dead-weight associated with the gear system. I don't recall all of the reasoning. I believe part of it was better engine cooling, but I',m not sure. FYI, I believe there is a 337 with welded gear for sale on the "skymaster center" web site.
