Well Claude, you most likely will get many answers to your question, but for what it's worth, ( and you've paid nothing) heres mine:
Cruise altitude-- 6-7000 isn't going to make much difference one way or
the
other. Just be careful of your leaning. Proper procedure is to lean till
the engine peaks, then back off till you see a slight decrease in rpms.
That way you get sufficient cooling in the cylinders, while establishing
best power. Most things in life are compromises.
CHT-- The Max for your engine is 540 degrees F. Normal cruise would be in
the 400-450 Degree range, perhaps a little higher, but watch it close, it
doesn't take long to make 25-50 degrees. Your leaning at altitude of
choice is vitally important here.
EGT-- This isn't much of a factor if your CHT is right, and thats a
cop-out!! It means I don't have anything for you here--{grin}
Hope this helps a bit,
Fly happy,
Doug- 9984W-Cherocoupe ( I got outvoted-can you see the tears ?) Well at
least Fred designed both aircraft. Will you guys still let us come to your
fly-ins? If you want to answer this particular question, please start a
