It was high 80's today but didn't have any overheating at all... temp on cylinder after landing was 200... that's 15 laps at full throttle...

hey, question for you engine pros out there... should I be worried going to higher altitudes for Warbirds over the Rockies? will that make my current needle settings at sea level too rich?
Higher altitudes will make for richer A/F ratio. Nothing to worry about as far as engine damage but power will be off.

Make sure that you return to your low altitude setting when you get hone as a lean condition can cause engine damage.
