Bob Cook is an unknown quantity at this point
intercoolers

I always run at 29/2450 or 31/2450 for cruise. Burn is about 27 gph at 50 rop for 68-70% hp (29").

re temps. rear engine does run warm based on OAT being isa++ with the air conditioning on. Normal front temp is 160 and rear is about 180. they would run a lot cooler if i ran at 55% power.

My humble opinion is try power is based on fuel flow at peak EGT then consulting the tcm manual and correlating to rpm curve.

Kevin, I wasn't trying to bait you. my argument is cooling the inlet air can can help to run the engine cooler and develop more potential output based on hot and heavy climbs. Fuel flow still dictates % power regardless of OAT or intercooler temperature.

Skyking, I do not have my poh with me but what is the cessna spec pwr based on same RPM and FUEL FLOW in your chart. Must be a couple of inches difference ? just a guess.

Bob
