"I am using gravity feed fuel supply which would be more suseptable to
leaning than a constant pressure system."

Thanks Rich for that tid bit of info.  This is exactly where I am at today.
My run today was great.  After Marks great inspection yesterday, I got
determined to solve my power problems, so I sat thinking of how to enrich my
Revflow without adding a fuel pump.  I came to the conclusion that the gas
was not coming out of the carb.  I reasoned that the straight taper cut of
the revflow needle was not going to feed the engine at WOT and at
idle/midrange.  I decided to create a WOT step down over the last half an
inch or so.  I went to the hanger early 8AM and ground the step and put it
back in the Revflow.  Presto, 3500 RPM and 40 MP.  Though I have tremendous
power now, I feel that the engine is at minimum running Peek EGT, and not
rich of peek as I would like to see.  Well, 3500 and 40 is more then I want
static and now I can finally use some of the variable pitch in the IVO prop.
Before I repitch the prop, I need to know if any one with a turbo with a
controllable waste gate is making enough power to need the gate and what
will happen as the altitude goes up.  Tomorrow it's back to fixing the
things on the list and trying to find a good vernier cable locally.
