Dave,
The top bin, +127, on my EC-2 is 41.8 inches of manifold
pressure. Does yours go higher?
I just figured that Tracy
had something in mind when he set those limits. What does the EC-2 do
when you go outside its limits? Does it keep everything the same as the
last time it saw an instruction?
I have no intention of boosting my setup and I am roughly at sea
level, (55 Ft ), so with ram air, I might be able to see 31 inches. The
rest I will never use.
You are welcome to borrow them if you like. :>)

I have no knowledge of boosted rotary engines. It is a fad. It
will go away.
LOL, I have no knowledge either. But that is a different matter.
Thanks for the
detailed reply, as expected, only I can choose my level of boost and no one has
the magic number of when I will run into problems with detonation. And
who am I kidding by trying to push the limit. Inching up the
power... If 45 inches is no problem, then 46" is going to be OK...
Unfortunately,
having "a problem" will mean an engine re-build if not another
landing on a road. So I must set an arbitrary limit and stick to
it....

.. No, stick to
the boost limit....
...Eight Hundred
horse power...

airplane, we are not safely on the ground...

45 inches
MAP. That is my final word, That is law.
