I remember every time we leveled off when I was flying with my 
father(he had a group of 4-5 other guys he shared a Mooney 201 with), 
first he would increase the pitch on the prop slowly to pull the 
engine into its peak power band(this is when the plane would 
noticeably accelerate; not as much so as when levelling off from 
takeoff, but still appreciable); then, he turned the mixture control 
out from full rich until the EGT needle came off the peg...then every 
so slowly turned it until it drifted up smack into the middle of the 
green range.  Tada, perfect mixture, perfect RPM, perfect pitch...
