Now these are real loose numbers from memory. But on a 90F day I'm not seeing much more than 10GPH climbing out through 1500'.
I seem to recall seeing 13+ GPH on a 50 or 60F day.

But surely someone here should be able to present a formula or graph that shows HP vs air temp.

 Of course, by fuel flow, I'm only producing 120 (hot day) to 150 (cold day) HP. 
 
You're saying you have a 30 HP difference between hot and cold days?  Holy cow !!!  Do you have intake temps to go along with that?  If not, what would be your definition of hot and cold?  I'm going to have to find those intercoolers... 

Thanks for the info.
