High altitude, Fuel Injection, & Prop selection

[Tail_Gunner]

I had assumed high altitude and going to a smaller prop was due to the engine being limited, if this is the case will fuel injection do anything for this situation?

Fuel injection with adjust the air/fuel mixture for you automatically, but you will lose HP going up in higher elevations. This might require a prop with less pitch. If you go higher and don't have enough power or can't get in the operable RPM range of your motor you need less pitch.

On DFI's, that's about the only option you have for getting the RPM back. I don't believe there are any bleed-air jets to change.
