> So in increase of 3 hp would put me at around 23hp, closer to a Super C or an H. Does that sound correct?

Again, it depends on what you have now and you really need to check a little closer first. Since your 100 is almost 50 yrs old, don't be suprised to find an overbore kit has already been installed by a PO (especially if you don't know it's history). The major HP gain estimate is based on the 1/8" overbore and the dome . If your tractor already has either or both of these, then you might not notice that change as much as just a tighter motor due to new pistons and rings. Super C also gets some help from a higher RPM. Then remember the condition of the head and distributor is a very big part of the equation too.

Don't remember if I've bought directly from him or not, but think I did meet Justin at the Red Power Roundup in PA and seems like a decent guy that's knowledgeable on his parts.
