Here is the key phrase in the RAM article:
>RAM supports the installation of balanced or matched fuel flow nozzles, >but does not, in fact cannot, condone or approve their use to operate an >engine at an unapproved mixture setting.
And the key word is "cannot."
Reading between the lines, I think their position is that the certification tests were conducted at the manufacturers recommended power setting (right or wrong), and that if either RAM or the engine manufacturers now try to recommend different operating procedures, they would open up a huge can of "liability worms."
From a business perspective, I don't know that I blame them.
In the end, the Pilot In Command is the FINAL AUTHORITY.....yak yak yak.
But, if something breaks, you can't blame it on RAM or Continental.
Oh well.
