160 h.p. Bushmaster stall/cruise speeds

Does anyone have any real world numbers for a 160 horse PA-20/Bushmaster conversion? The plane was extended 20" and it has supercub wings (with flaps) on it. Also if you know what kind of distance you need to operate at a 5,000 foot field. It has an empty weight of 1070 lbs.

I know of one for a decent deal, just want to learn a little more on it.

Thank you gents.

Re: 160 h.p. Bushmaster stall/cruise speeds

I haven't flown a bushmaster but i have some time in a pa14 180 that weighs a little over 1100. its an imressive airplane I know for a fact it will take off in 201 yards at gross 2000asl. I know this because the strip was 204 yards long!
i doubt the bushmaster actually is that light, but even so it should be a decent performer under 2000lbs. some of them are upgrossed to 2400 or something, at that it likely needs more power.

stall 38ish with VGs
cruse 95mph with 31s and a pawnee prop
