Those are all intelligent, logical concerns. My only input would be that most tractor engines are built with a HUGE margin of safety. I put an overbore kit in my F14 because I couldn't find a standard bore kit. It is supposed to give a 4 HP increase, which is substantial for an engine rated at 14 HP to begin with. I haven't had any problems with overheating. I hooked her up to a 2-14 plow for about an hour a couple of weeks ago, and the temp never got over 160, altho I did have to crack the shutters a bit. I don't know about the Super C particularly, but I'd expect you'd be safe to put in the overbore kit. The only possible exception to that opinion would be if you're planning to work the tractor at or near the limit all the time. Also, make sure the cooling system is in good shape.
