The way that you come across in your post is that you simply would not believe when I did show you, and I can understand that.
Hence my statement in the post above:

Testing each way thoroughly is the best way to determine what your vehicle wants.
Now, if you want me to walk you through a revealing test procedure that you can perform to get repeatable results on your own vehicle, thus giving you your own applicable answers, then I will.

I've done my own controlled testing 20 years ago. I have all of my data, but I'm not here to convince anyone, nor am I obligated to answer to anyone. You will always be better off, and more satisfied, if you perform your own testing.

As I indicated above, different vehicle combinations respond differently, and also to different conditions. Differences in engine loading can come down to factors like different drivers, or where the driver lives. That's why I gave a general answer, but then suggest individual testing to confirm. I had hoped that would've been clear.
