So my belief that I need to run richer for the high power settings on the rotary is incorrect? 

 
Hi Bob,
 
With all engines, it it true that best power is richer than 14.7 AFR.  Best economy is leaner.  Tracy tends to be... how shall I put this, "a cheap bastard" when it comes to cruise settings :-)   Rest assured, he ain't running best power unless he's racing, and probably not even then. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty (fearing the wrath of the cheap bastard, especially after Ed drinks all his beer)
