dollars on exhaust systems.)

Done improperly LOP will start to melt exhaust systems. If you're getting
over 1500 EGT then you're not LOP, you're at peak. 75 LOP is the same
temp as 75 ROP.

The PROPER way is not so much running ROP or LOP but rather the transition
from full rich to LOP - it has to be done quickly, like 3-4 seconds ("The
Big Pull" as Deakin describes it).

Where jus about everyone gets into trouble is running near peak (i.e., just
a few degrees either side).

Jay is merely parroting the OWT and misinformation that has been running
around out there for _years_.
