Tom,
Did your temps settle down after leveling off?  The = beauty of normally aspirated is that heat production is nearly proport= ional to cooling capacity as altitude increases.  Well, loss of ram wi= ll bring heat production down a little faster.  I tend to run 10-15 de= grees cooler up high.

What is =0A = the practical service ceiling with a 180hp IO360?
Years ago I was told = you =0A are there when the rate of climb drops to 100ft/min of less.
Ho= w high will =0A it go?
Frost bite might be the limiting =0A factor?
