hello Lynn: you are right, with the high boost I get a bit more ump but not enough to let me go to 21K which is where the plane does best
I probably  need to send the fuel pump to TCM. Thanks for the follow up, by the way  I am finishing my evolution in a couple of months
and I am a bit tired of the ROP LOP shock cooling no deicer deal. That Pratt and Whitney handles descent and goes up at 4k per minute
It weighs less than my IV-P

Dr Katz,

 

About a year ago I had a similar problem with fuel flow reduction during climb. It would cause increased temperature problems at the same altitudes (14 to 15,000˘).

 

It turned out that I needed to have my fuel pump recalibrated by TCM in Mobile . During this period I found I could increase the fuel flow about 5 GPH by turning on the high boost pump. You might want to turn on the high boost pump around 12,000˘ and see if this doesn˘t allow you to climb above 14,000˘ without the CHTs going up.
