The result is, frankly, a lousy engine installation that results in the operational limitations you describe - - and which are wholly unnecessary. You guys should be having routine full power climbs from sea level to 20,000 feet in 10 minutes and never see a CHT above 380F. Cruise should routinely be at 32 to 34" MP and 2300 to 2500 RPM and 70-90F LOP, again with the hottest CHT under 380F. And, yes, it can be done. I took one of these "stock" IV-P's and fixed it. It took a fair amount of time and effort, and a lot of experience to know what to do and how. Regards, George
