Don't know the answer - however, my view is at 5500 rpm even with 100% Ve the engine is ingesting only so much air mass - Which means you can only throw in so much fuel before you are burning all the ox in the air. I don't think that any WOT operation at/near full power is going to vary the BSFC much from the 0.55 - but, ignore my response lets see what Lynn says.

There is no question that if you vary the Air/fuel ratio by using the mixture control for a set air flow - you will vary power being produced.
The question that really interests me, and the one that could only really be answered on a dyno, is "Could you get the 174 Hp generated by this engine at 5500 RPM, but with a BSFC closer to .40, by controlling power in this way?"
