I don't understand the concern.  You have full flows at takeoff and cruise.  Pressure declines past some alarm point during leaning.   Why Not change the alarm unless this is a major change in the system?   Still wondering where your transducer is located in the pipes...

Bob ... Reference: "How about a blockage in the fuel system?" 
                       The engine runs great at WOT in the climb ... the only problem is when I lean past the last cylinder
                       peaking ... the low pressure warning bell goes off!!! I do not think it is a blockage problem??? No
                       trash was noted in the fuel filter screen?????
 
Paul ....."So, where is the transducer for pressure and what are the flows at takeoff and cruise and did they change? And, from experience, check the cowling and other areas for blue staining and flag any aroma of avgas in the cockpit as a show stopper."
                        There is NO change in takeoff and cruise pressure / fuel flow - until I go lean of lean! There is no
                        indication of any fuel leaking what so ever???
 
I am planning on cranking up the fuel pressure on the fuel pump and see if this will make any difference???? It could be an indicator problem I guess??? Will see if I can get closer to 32 psi at takeoff power and if so if I can still get below 40 LOP???
 
Thanks for the inputs ... Blue Skies ... Alan
