Today I took the Spit IIa out for a spin. At 1000ft, found that even with Boost Cut Out on, with 3/4 rad, 2800rpm, and 240+ mph, I had no overheating issues at 11lbs boost, regardless of time spent. However, when I climbed to 15000ft, I found that with full radiator, 2800rpm, 240+ mph, I would overheat with anything greater than 7 - 8lbs boost.
