Mike, Your data explains and reflects my experience at 5500' when I lost the
Leading coil enroute from PNS to SVH.  Temps went to 1800+ power sagged and
I was really tense.  The only thing I could do was enrichen the mixture to
cool it down and retard throttle even more.  RPM was then limited to about
4500.
Regards, Tommy James<><

Dropping leading looked dangerous and seemed to suggest that
more of the fuel was burning on the way out rather than providing
combustion chamber/rotor pressure/power. I'm sure this would be a bad
thing for you turbo folks! I know this is apples and oranges, but ...
there ya go.

     -Mike
