I'm changing the subject line Frank so we won't get confused.

Does anyone know if the 582 can be outfitted with an altitude-compensating
carburetor, Bing or otherwise?

Green Sky has their manual mixture control, HACman, which I've been pleased
with these last three months. It gives about 80F of EGT control which means
I can cruise around at 1150F EGT and then go full rich to come screaming
down the other side without exceeding 1200F. I'm not sure it gives better
altitude, but so far I've attained 12,600' density altitude in my IV which
I and everyone else thinks is currently not putting out its rated horsepower.
Green Sky used to sell the HAC automatic altitude compensator, but
apparently certain parts are no longer available so they devised their
manual system.
