Mark and Netters I would begin, at least for the summer, adjusting your EIS baro setting to the current setting and adjust during flight, as you would adjust your altimeter. It would make the E6B claculation for your density altitude for you, and would make mixture adjustments even more valuable. I expect that in your area now, with the summer heat and your elevation already, that you are consistently taking off with density altitudes of 2500 feet or more. You will not get best power any where near full rich, nor will you get ful power anyway, which you already know. BUT you will get the most power you could get with a more correct mixture. I would verify this adjustment by running up to full static power just before takeoff and leaning to best rpm, then richen just alittle for detonation protection. With your large cooling openings, you don't need to overly rich full mix to help cooling, so I would fly just this side of rich over best lean power mix.
Just some thoughts... Colin N96TA
