Hello Jack

I do not want to sound like an.......ass lol But on those chart you have a statement that contradict with most 'experts' saying that 50% Rich at 75% is precisely the wrong spot to be !!

So I would be careful using this chart running your engine. This might be the 'old' chart they used to have before Gammi and the rest came up with better numbers. For example at 50% you can set the mixture anywhere without harming your engine etc etc....

I guess TCM just wants to sell lots of cylinders LOL

Here is a power chart for the TSIO550 from TCM that I added red lines and cleaned up a little as it did not scan well.

A first order approximation is to consider a linear relation exists between
MP, RPM, and power.

TCM says that 38.5" MP and 2700 RPM gives 100% power (350 hp)

Cruise setting of 31" MP and 2500 RPM thus gives (31/38.5) * (2500/2700) =
74.5% or 261 hp

Another example: 28" MP and 2400 RPM: (28/38.5) * (2400/2700) = 64.6% or 226
hp

So you can calculate the power with different settings, or choose you power
and back-calculate to determine the settings requried.

Can any one tell me what the MAP/RPM power settings are for the
Lanceair 4P TSIO550
Like 60 - 65 - 70 - 75%

Thanks
