Ok, thanks, Perry.  Yes, my plugs tend to start showing the effects
of
lead
fouling (from examining the plugs that is what it appears to be)
after
about
25 hours of 100LL.  This causes the SAG (Sparkplug Attention Getter)
that I,
Tracy and now you have experienced.  Same conditions, high power
setting
after takeoff (when you really want all the power you can get) and
the
engine drops 150-200 rpm AGgg!  So far I 've just stuck in new
plugs,
but I
may try cleaning some of the plugs using local airport aircraft
sparkplug
cleaner just to see if it helps.

Are those platinum or standard plugs? Would it make a diff?

I'm running platinum plugs now, made no difference.
