The stroked c85 puts out hp in the high 90's at lower RPM's also more torque than an 0-200. And by putting a 85 cam in it I am converting an 0200 into a stroked 85. I am also going to put modified c85 Pistons or lycon 9-1 Pistons in it to up the hp
If you're thinking about puffing up an O 200 look at the 9.5 NFS pistons and a Stage 3 cam from some of the airboat guys. A good tuned exhaust and add an electronic ignition and will yield about 125+ dependable HP
I have the lycon pistons but I'm having second thoughts about it because of the problems guys are having with them. Where do I find the info on the cam?
That's why I suggested you reach out to him, if you were doing your own work you wouldn't be picking his brain while he was trying to make a buck. He did my 0-200, I'm not sure what was done but he certainly has a few tricks up his sleeve. Not to mention real nice guy. Good luck.

i talked with don last year about camshafts for 0-200. He told me he sorta kinda retired but not really. He is a wonderful guy who will patiently answer your questions and give you his thoughts on tweaking an 0200
the biggest issue I had was the 4 month wait, he is pretty busy.
The old school cam that he likes to use is nearly non existent
he told me I would have to find a cam because he was fresh out. It's worth a call just to chat he's the real deal
Dons son is running it now I believe but should be a good source for info. Also Aircraft Specialties in Tulsa will regrind your cam or maybe exchange.

The NFS pistons bring the compression up to 9.5
