At 5500ft density altitude cruises with 197MPH (171kts) throttle full in at about 10.1 GPH leaned to peak EGT and 2300 RPM. Temps are high right now (93 deg today).
The initial flights' left yaw was solved by tightening up the nose wheel breakaway force; was far too loose even though carefully set in the past. Will add to the condition checklist. Yaw is good now no trim tab needed I think.
CHT 1/2 higher than 3/4. 3/4 hang together, #1 10-15 higher, and #2 is 25-30deg higher than #1. Consistent through the flight. EGT about same on all within 30-40 degrees of each other.
Perhaps too much air passes by 1/2 and flows to 3/4? It if was a fuel problem I think that the EGT would be consistently lower on 2 and it is not. 7.1 hours on the engine maybe it is too early to care about it. First oil change at 5 hours was uneventful nothing in the oil or screen.
Changed my autopilot setup to not have roll/pitch trim enabled with servo function. Still think the screens for autopilot and trim setup don't match what is in the latest installation guide. Will continue to assess. Autopilot works great.
