I just tried this and was getting some really odd things happening.
Climbing at 7lb boost, 2,850rpm, IAS ~155, rad half open.
Temp gauges all within limits when at 17,000ft my rpm started fluctuating wildly, causing cockpit shake. I was unable to control my rpm.
oil = 85, water = 100.
Changing fuel mixture did not help.
I don't know what was going on.
Only way i could stop the shaking was sub 2,100 rpm & sub 4 lb boost.. managed to get to 19,000ft but could not maintain a climb..
