Nice! Was great to meet you! Beautiful airplane.
On the way home from Oshkosh on Thursday. Zoom, zoom!
Well, the TAS seems reasonable, but the fuel flow throws me way off. Looking at the EGT, it seems like its running really fat.

Hate to do the "look at me" thing, but I always take note of EFIS screenshots. The above was me two weeks ago. Dragging 2 extra cylinders along to boot. Note the TAS and FF.
I run lop after leaving the pattern and get 170 tas running 8.5-9 gph. 21 inches map/2300-2350 rpm. With current jumper in timing on the pmags -330 hottest cht and 1380ish on egts (50 lop). This is a straight -14. 8-12k cruise altitude most of the time.
I tend to get the same performance but actually cooler chts running lop than running rop with the 390.
Michael, what prop are you running? I have the old recommended prop. It is getting due for replacement. I was thinking the hartzwell blended airfoil might pick up a few knots.
Thanks
Installation is clocked, or set at TDC?
