1800 is better (with the leaning mentioned above) but you won't
make any friends in the tiedowns using those RPMs.


Yes. The procedure must be used with consideration for others.

Since I started following Lycoming's procedure, I no longer have any
fouling problems.


What made a HUGE difference for me was just leaning in taxi. If you
increase throttle and the RPM increases during taxi you have the
mixture set too rich. Before I realized this I had to have my IO-360's
plugs cleans twice in 6 months. Now I don't think about it until
annual.

Amen. (Two mechanics have told me I will "burn the valves" by doing
this!)

Yep.
