billsheila is an unknown quantity at this point
I did this when I went flying in N2131X with the Terrafugia boys who wanted to learn some things about Skymasters and "blown elevators" (as their test pilot referred to it) and as they were toiling with getting the flying car going. In that case we were pretty close to your question, except for the temps, which were right around standard.

Max gross, front engine set for zero thrust. It would fly along all day long at 25/25 on the rear engine at 5000. I have only done a more legit test once when I mistakenly ran the rear engine out of gas. I didn't mess around with gathering data that day, as I was IFR and got it going again in about 20 seconds!
