On standard day conditions, I was able to climb the aircraft at 140 to 145 KIAS. Typical rates of climb were around 2000 fpm into the high teens. Hottest CHT was around 385dF on #2. We were using 38" x 2600 or 2700 RPM and holding the TIT down to about 1350 to 1380d F with fuel. Ultimately the owner retrieved his airplane (darn it) and later called me up one evening and chuckled when he told me that his local ATC folks were complaining about his rate of climb - - as he was leaving through airspace boundaries "vertically" instead of the more conventional horizontal airspace boundary departures.
