You know the charter of Ecomodder is experimentation and this sounds like a good project for those who have instrumentation and curiosity. So what I'll do is rig up my Prius to record more data and see if we can find what parameters appear to impact timing and fuel flow. You' all might consider doing the same for your cars.

Perhaps someone has a pot they can hack onto the air inlet and/or manifold sensor to show what happens with different values.

Seriously, let's 'do the experiment' and see what happens. Of course if the original poster isn't curious, I'll just add it to my 'to do' list.
