Thanks for the responses concerning my recent first flight.  I'll try to answer the questions asked.
 
The estimated takeoff distance was about 1400 ft with a density altitude of 8700 ft.
 
The oil and coolant temperatures both reached nearly 200 degrees F at full throttle and then stabilized at close to 180 degrees in level flight at 100 to 120 Kt at an altitude of about 9500 ft.  Of course, significantly less maximum power (and heat) was produced compared to those installations operated near sea level.
 
Static engine RPM was 4600 .  5200 RPM was seen in flight before throttling back.  Maximum speed was not attempted.
 
An EXCEL spreadsheet is attached with data collected during the flight if it survives emailing and if anyone wants to look at it.  I haven't tried to preserve the spreadsheet formatting in the body of an email.
 
I will be away from home until July 20 and may not be able to respond to emails until then.  Please don't take a lack of prompt response as an indication of lack of interest on my part.
