  George,
  
  I'm not Scott, but I just landed from an "away" weekend and saw your request
  for info. I can tell you what I did and saw.
  
  I was leaned 70 degrees lean of peak in my LIVP, 14,000 feet, MAP 31", RPM
  2500, fuel flow 16.6 GPH.  Left the power in (and leaned) all the way to the
  traffic pattern except for a 5 second experiment in pushing the throttle up
  to 34" at 1500' AGL which did not produce noticeable acceleration. First and
  only power reduction was to 12" MAP on crosswind, with the landing being
  managed with speed brakes, flaps and gear at the appropriate times.  I did
  not touch or adjust RPM or Mixture but I did pull the throttle to idle at
  touchdown.  The engine quit during the landing roll.  Outside of my wife
  getting nosy about "what happened?", I think that everything worked exactly
  as it should.  Comments?
