Gentlemen:

I attended the 3 day class in Ada OK which the folks at GAMI teach on 
advanced engine management.   I admit I was on the fence over the LOP/ROP 
issue.   On day two of the class I had to make a quick trip to Dallas for 
business and flew over that night and back for the course the next day.   

I tried the techniques they teach at GAMI and THEY WORK.  Period.

I have never been able to attain 80% power with 18 GPH fuel flow at CHT/EGT 
well in line.   I have never seen the combination of higher TAS, lower temps 
and economy FF in the 3 years I have been flying the IVP.

For anyone who is dropping $500K into an airplane taking this course ahould 
be manditory.  You will save money in repairs, fuel, time and it just may 
save your life.

Yeag getting to ADA is a pain but $1,000 is a cheap price to pay for what I 
agree is a PHD in engine management.   George Braly is without a doubt the 
Albert Einsten of the conbustion engine.  He has real world data to prove his 
point and best yet has an engine set up on a test stand where we could verify 
what he says is true.   I busted his chops on everything I didn't understand 
or was different than the "conventional wisdom" and came away realizing that 
I learned more in 3 days about how engines work, how to treat them and how to 
realize when things were going wrong than I had learned in 25 yrs of flying 
put together.

Great job GAMI and keep up the good work.
