Military power climb calls for 2700 RPM at 52.5" MAP, shifting to low blower when MAP drops to 45" between 1700 and 5500 ft. above MSL.

Whacker, does the manual make any mention of radiator settings for the above? Does it also cover temps and times at certain RPM before overheating sets in? Cheers.
