Mike:
The timing is about the same except
different techniques. When I took the ground school and transition training from
Pete Zaccagnino he wanted the following sequence:
Onto and aligned with the runway, stop with
brakes on, full mixture, full RPM, WOT - all gauges in the green, release brakes
for takeoff roll.
My additions: release brakes and begin roll,
After 1-2 seconds (rudder control) adjust mixture for max power and continue
take off.
Walter is suggesting to set EGT's to 1250 on
takeoff. I have not tried it but is seems my head has to be inside
the cockpit to do this (sea level, Denver, Leadville) when I am taking off
- not good! Maybe I should adjust to 1250 as soon as I am airborne and
stable with 2650 to 2700 RPM (about 500' AGL). I will try the next time I go
up.

Eugene,
My experience is that when I take the runway, I take about 3 seconds to
get to WOT, I'm rotating within another 5 seconds or so. I don't have
time to play with the mixture on the takeoff roll. I just pick a mixture
I know isn't too rich to lose power, get in the air, clean up the plane and
then tweak.
