Max rpm, Rusty, but I also observe the EGT - if it starts to lower then I know I am starting to  run richer than best power setting and reduce mixture setting.

Fuel flow actually shows greater that 180HP, but I like being a bit conservative in any claims in that area.  I have had fuel flow of 20 gph on a cold day and with that denser air.   
 
Hi Ed,
 
When you measure these fuel flows, are you doing it at a mixture setting that gives max rpm, max EGT, or ???    
 
Thanks,
Rusty  (time to throttle some contractors)
