Rusty,
Arn't you jumping the gun a little here? It's
true that you're providing us all with a useful list of things to avoid, and
lots of good wholesome entertainment, but you're also "experimenting" in the
true sense of experimental. It caught my attention when Ed mentioned that he was
on his fifth intake, and Tracy said he didn't love his rotary until 80 hours.
Perhaps you're giving up too early on this.
Lets take a step back for a moment. Forget about
altitude. On the ground, and for say the first 3000 feet where you'll be
doing most of your climbing, its a known fact that the turbo 13B produces
considerably more horses than the NA version. The cars, running at the same
altitude, don't blow their turbos and engines to bits, even at much higher RPM
than you're doing. So whats the difference? Why, at these altitudes, should
you're engine perform worse than the one in a car?
Regards,
John Slade
