I know the system inside out. If your mechanic calls me i can give him directions.

Maybe someone can take...

The existing system is fine. You can get 38X2 amps without a problem. The 400 regulators work and there is a 337 out from CPA if you are a member.

HP = FF < losses (fricitional and otherwise).
Fuel flow is the only way to determine actual hp unless you work backwards knowing the Inlet air temp and using that to calc density altitude. ...

2) the CPA system with the 400 regulators and a 337 work fine as well. Takes the hassle out of "tweeking" the existing system.
