Continental IO550-N does have tuned intake tubes and
will run 150 LOP.

  Steve,

Because some of the engine monitor companies still
live in the 40'slike Lycoming does..

There isn't a fuel injected automobile made today that
doesn't run LOPeither all the time or automatically
adjusts to it when it can.

ROP operations are used on most Lycomings and
Continental enginesbecause the fuel distribution is so
god awful you have to waste 10% to30% of your fuel to
get a semblance of smooth running.  This came to
bebecause it was easy(lazy) and gas was cheap in the
40's.   

60 years later Continental is making their version of
precisioninjectors(been on cars for 20 years) for some
of their big boreengines, Lycoming is still running in
the "Up and Locked" position. I'mnot sure if either
company has heard of tuned induction or tunedexhaust,
give um a couple more decades and they'll come around.

Vision's VM1000C  has a LOP lean-to-find function as
do a coupleothers. GRT told me they are in the process
of adding it.
