Here is another thought....

...I just pulled out my PA31 manual and it stipulates 49.0" MAP as the maximum value up to 15,000'. In fact I am trying to remember the last time I saw a Chieftain pulling anything above 44.0".

It is common practice to "dial back" the max MAP on Chieftain engines to protect them from over-boosting by the pilots.

Who, then, is going to be protecting the pilots and the passengers from the under-boosting?

What is the maximum MAP set up on OGW or IGW or the other remaining Luft-tex Mojaves, or for that matter their Chieftains?
