What temperature are you guys seeing your CL-12E's run at? I was seeing my Novarossi engines run at around 130degC (266 f) with good power, and my CL-12E was only at around 115degC (239 f) with great power. Just curious to see if the Sirio based motors (being new to Sirio) generally run cooler or hotter then Novarossi's. I don't tune with temperature, it is more or less a guide for me.

I did notice the Capricorn manual heavily relied on temperature to break in and tune the motor. They state never to run the motor above 120degC (248 f) which is alittle on the conservative side I think.
