The stock IP was not very strong (governor setting).
After just changing the elements top speed raised from 170 to 185 km/h.
Unfortunately my pyrometer was not installed that time so I can not verify the theory of lower EGTs.
The potential of power that can't be used because of lack of air will give you a much better mileage.

I'm unfamiliar with that theory, but I'm willing to entertain the idea if you can help me understand. More fuel should produce more heat, which is why all the modern high(er) performance turbo engines have some form of intercooler from the factory.
