Thanks everyone for your input. I'll look into that book.

It's in the POH as okay to go over so I'll believe anything printed in that. As far as lean of peak, I do that on occasion, but I've seen people with GamiInjectors on their BE35 lean it way out and blow out rings all the time. I always try to lean to the point of engine roughness then back rich about "a smidge." We don't have EGT (I don't understand why) but we have a CHT and I try to keep it around 150-180 degrees.
