The answers I got indicated that if you were at stoich at 12:00 oclock, then best power should be around 1:00-2:00 oclock. 

 

Bill;

I’m going to modify my earlier response based on more careful attention when flying the other day.  I monitored (average) EGTs rather than looking at the O2 sensor readout.  Mine is set for peak EGT at about 1:30 position (is that stoichometric?).  About 100F lean of peak puts the knob at about 11:00 position; about 100F ROP is about 4:00-4:30 position. Note frequent use of “about”.

 

This varies somewhat depending on MAP due to variations in the correction factors.

 

YMMV;
