Extended full-power in small pistons
I have an engine analyzer in my twin, and it is extremely useful for
monitoring CHT on those hot days, as well as finding out the bad plug that occasionally occurs on runup. I always run LOP in cruise, and can generally get down to around 25gph at 8-10k and 174KTAS. I need to adjust my GAMI injectors, since the cylinders all don't peak at quite the same fuel flow. It may not be as useful in a 172, but for IO 470's or larger an dngine analyzer may make more sense. On the other hand, I also have an AEIO 540 Lycoming, and even without GAMI injectors, the engine peaks symmetrically, probably due to better fuel flow in the Lycoming versus the Continental.
