....and isn't this what we call Full Throttle Height?

and it shouldn't be too hard to find in the manual in the performance tables.

My understanding is - for a given power setting and engine RPM there is an altitude at which the engine will perform at max efficiency on full throttle, ie max volumetric efficiency.

The Lycoming Flyer is useful for all this.
