Seems to me that unless you're up against an rpm limit reducing the EGT will enable a higher ff (fuel flow) until the limit is again reached.

AFAIK, all modern turbines are RPM limited. Much like an IC motor, if there is no load, they will reach RPM limit while making little power

And when RPM is the limit, consricting the exhaust will raise the thrust and EGT to the even as the ff remains constant.
Don't understand this.
