I typically take off and climb at wide open throttle - 2600 rpm. Fuel flows run about 28 gph at takeoff.

As I climb I lean to about 1100 until I reach 70% power, then I lean to about 1200.

On level off I leave my throttle wide open, reduce RPM to 2500 or 2400 and lean my engine to about 50 LOP.

If I am not going high enough to get below 70% power, I will reduce either RPM or MAP until I am at 70% power or below and then go lean.

For "fooling around" at lower altitudes I will set "23 squared" and lean to 50 LOP.  This usually gives me a fuel flow of between 12 and 12.5 gph depending on temps, etc.
