Hi
The short answer is yes, a 130 is plenty strong enough to get you up on plane. Your top end will not be blazing fast, but you should be able to hit in the 30's without too much problems.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
