Great report.
At first glance, your performance seems to be similar to mine. Probably a touch faster in cruise and climb which is expected with your larger engine. Where you say 120knots at 3100rpm, I need ~3150rpm with my 54x46 propeller which is WOT for me.
Is the 152knots you list for WOT a typo? I wrote up a long response in amazement of your truly awesome speed, hoping I'll be able to replicate it when I realized it was more likely to be a typo. Oh well... I can still dream :-)
