Ok 350 guru's I have a question?

I have a fair amount of time the in the 350, but recently have been working it at a Pa of >7000-12K. I have noticed that starting the initial light off tends to be pretty hot and requires maniuplation to keep it in the 700-750C range, even bringing it back just a hair to mudulated it, cause it to flame out (0ver 9000 pa). EC want you to immeaditly induce fuel when you hit the starter. Just as an experiemnt I waited unitl 10%n1 before I came forward with the FCL and got a much cooler light off (as expected) .

Anyone else seen anything like this. Tips for running these things up high?
