Bobby,

What oil cooler are you using?   Do you have any data on oil temperatures in and out of that cooler?

Thanks,

Scott,

 

Make sure your fuel pressure regulator is tracking 1:1 with boost pressure. That might explain your steep fuel curve.
For the first few flights I had the super charger bypass open during takeoff with less than 30” MP. I then started adding boost a pound or two at a time while circling the airport. Once comfortable with the tune I started using boost for takeoff and gradually increasing to 39” MP over several flights. What size waste gate do you have?
