I DO NOT recommend that folks mess around with their fuel flow and then try it on a short runway as was mentioned elsewhere. Too much fuel and the engine will quit. Not a good thing when you are at a 3000 or 4000 foot runway and 100 feet in the air. IMHO this is probably what contributed to Dave Hickman's fatal IVP accident.
