I flew 320's with 28,500 lbs CFM's, and some special high altitude 319's with the same engines and extra oxygen tanks in the rear cargo hold. The 319's were rockets. I never did a Max TO in one, even at 6500'. I am not sure I ever had a assumed temp lower than 55. Even in the summer at 6500 feet and 35 C OAT.
I "Assume" your meant "Flex." Forgetting your French already? Or did they not call if flex on the CFM model? A 319 with that engine would certainly be entertaining.
