For Lazy Eights:
Gear up, 120 mph, 17"-19" depending on temp/altitude, and 2400 rpm.
Chandelles:
Gear up, start at 120 mph, prop 2500 rpm, roll in 30 degrees of bank and power up to 25". Use 25 squared for the whole maneuver.
Eights on Pylons:
Gear up, 120 mph, 16"-19" Manifold and prop 2400 rpm or 19"-21" at 2500 rpm. Usually the first power setting works better.
Stalls I only give them 25 squared or even a lower manifold setting to simulate higher density altitude and so we don't have a really nose high attitude.
Usually gear up for power on, and accelerated stalls, gear down for cross control, elevator trim, and power off.
Power off 180:
Gear down halfway down the runway, abeam touch down point power is reduced to idle, pitch for 105 mph. Wait around 3 seconds depending on headwind component, start a tight 180 degree turn back towards the runway and hope for the best...expect 1500fpm decent through the turn. Sometimes it works to put 10 degrees flaps in at first but I usually hold off on further flaps until turning final. You can also use the trick of adding flaps in ground effect to lengthen your flare/ glide.
