Any ideas?  I was chatting with a friend of mine who thought that Lycoming had/has 80% of the GA market for piston powered planes.  Just curious.

I doubt it, and certainly not for current production planes.  Hard to quantify, though.  There are certainly tons of 172s with Lycomings out there, but pre-'97 182s and "bigger" Cessnas had TCM I believe.  Cirrus is 100% TCM and produce more than Cessna these days.  Beech has TCM in all of the Bonanzas and Barons, and some Lycomings in the small production planes (in terms of size and quantity).  Mooney and Piper have a lot of Lycoming-powered models in the existing fleet.  There are a lot of TCM O-200 powered C-150s that probably offset the Lycoming O-235 powered C-152s.  Other twin engine planes are a mix as well...
