Thermodynamics will dictate a certain minimum temperature rise in the combustor simply to "overcome" inefficiencies of comp and turb , and allow the machine to operate even without any excess shaft power being made available .
If you want excess shaft horsepower , then higher temps and generally greater waste energy is the norm :-((

sure, higher temps greater waste but its a curve and im wondering how far down it its possible to go.
btw we could do with some of your weather up here right now mate ! freezing fog here!, do me a favour and stick a couple weeks of glorious sunshine in an email :-)
