"Morgans" wrote in message ... "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message ups.com... But runnnig your engine at 30" at 15,000 feet is MUCH harder on the engine than running 30" at 5,000 feet. The engine runs hotter and harder. -Robert 65% is 65%, is 65%. All equal, no harder. That is the point of turbo norm. The engine has not got a clue how high it is. MP is the same at sea level or 15 thousand. The only argument is the temp. Keep it cool. it is not that hard, nor is it rocket science. -- Jim in NC Yes the MP is the same but the CHTs will be much higher. Basically you are trading better performance for higher temps. Turbo Lances can't make 75% power above 16,000 on warm days without CHTs well over 400F. It really isn't possible to produce a lot of power at high altitude without higher temps. I think that Robert's point is that there is a tradeoff. Mike MU-2
