Awesome looking seats. Also. can't wait to see the finished interior.

Great info Shadrach and Bob. Yep. that's what my POH looks like. I think I get the hint. 2400/24 is @ %65 power at 2K' with 10/C correction. +.4 MP. I have some homework and flying to do.

Thanks gsxrpilot. I have read many of your posts. Go easy on me, I'm a rookie. I updated my profile. X39 is Tampa North, just SE of KBKV Brooksville.

Thanks for the responses. I forgot to mention the 2400/24 MP was @ 2,000'. I did read some earlier posts about the POH not so correct on this topic.

Probably my 1st post. Started flying 1980 M20J and know the topic has been well discussed here. I am looking at this broadly, just to get on the right side as I gain experience in these beautiful birds. 2 flights as co-pilot to get a feel and get familiar with cockpit. At cruise 2400/24 MP @ 8.4/8.6 GPH, which I think is pretty good for 200 HP IO360-A2B6D according to the JPI. I was looking at the POH and Lycoming. At 75% or less POH states 14C/57F ROP, std temp. Lycoming states to use peak EGT for same power settings. Being a former machinist, those are not close enough for me. I'd like to be more precise, but getting stared, can I just use the JPI and keep CHT @350-375 with GPH numbers for leaning and use economy cruise at 75%? I am not a speed demon yet. I have 3-4 landings and the sight picture is much better for me coming from a high wing. And Don Kaye's video was a big help as was my CFI coaching me on speed coming in. I have seen a wealth of valuable information here.

Thanks for taking the extra the with HTTPS.
