OK, here is the question that still seems to have an ambiguous answer. For HIGH POWER settings, should I run rich of peak, and if so, how much?

Hi Bob,
 
I'm afraid I haven't paid much attention to EGT's, except to turn up the mixture when the EM-2 flashes at 1800 degrees.  For max power, adjust the mixture until the RPM peaks :-)   
 
Seriously, I don't tune or adjust mixture based on EGT.  I can't wait to test out my FJO wideband O2 meter in the real world though.
