130 Looper vs. 90/88 Special Cross Flow

[surrender]

Looking at a 1995 130 Looper for the repower on my 17 McKee. The 88 Special CrossFlow pushed it to about 31-32 MPH at 5600 rpm. Not really looking for a whole lot more speed but I imagine I'll get it with the 130. The question is will the Looper burn a lot more Fuel? Anyone have any thoughts?

Normal rule of thumb is 10 % of the HP at WOT. So, the 130 should burn 13 gal fuel/ hr at WOT.
