I didn't mean stressing, it was really just ticking over, and still you were going 140-150 mph - what was the power
output at that setting?

Yep. Not a problem it you shifted first to high blower. You just
adjusted your power to stay in formation. You had more power than lead
and so just tucked it in and went on with mission.

Engine did not lug. We ran the figures on the BMEP and well within
acceptable range. Was not stressing the engine at all.

I like that 15" and (maybe) 500 rpm - really lugging it...
