What is the difference in performance between the C-85 and O-200, cruise and climb?

Re: C-85,O-200
The O-200 has 15 more horsepower than the C-85. The cruise is a little faster, but the airframe controls that. Mine has a typical cruise of 107 mph. With the O-200 I get between 800 and 1200 Feet per minute climb. Cooler temperatures increase the climb performance. Takeoff distance is about 2-300 feet shorter than the 85.
