What's time to climb SL to 12=2C000' and rate of climb through roughly= 8=2C 12=2C and 16=2C000' at max weight?

For a fairly stock IO-550N installation (e.g. 8.5:1) at 8=2C000'=2C wh= at numbers would you see LOP=2C with and without electronic ignition?
 =3B
Since much of my trip is above 8=2C000'=2C what would the above perfor= mance numbers be at 12=2C 16=2C and 18=2C000'?
 =3B
Apart from keeping CHTs cool=2C what pilot and maintenance techniques = will increase engine life?
 =3B
How many cylinders would I expect to replace in 2000 hours of flying c= areful LOP?
 =3B
Who does the best pre-purchase inspections? =3B =3B Currently = there appear to be Legacys (Legacies?) for sale in ID=2C TX=2C etc.
