I know from another posting that you're at KTMB near Miami. For what it's worth, I've flown two 337s (a 337D and now a 337G) out of KTMB and never felt I needed a turbo. From my experience, the weather here is typically circumnavigatable or not, but basically never of the type where you can get above it. BTW, I flew the 337D to Idaho and back, and did quite a bit of mountain flying on that trip; you've got to learn about mountain flying (there are good resources on the Web), do proper planning (taking into account your airplane's performance) and be aware of weather (including high winds), but the normally aspirated 337 was a joy to fly on that trip, typically at 11,500 and 10,500 altitudes.
