ABA or not considering I've put maybe 10 hours labor into this I'd say it's worth my time to keep playing around.
Vapor does allow leaner combustible mixtures and can extend your fuel economy at low power cruise. However, the hot gas and air mix limits the mass of fuel and air into the engine at full power, so, disabling the vapor stream in some way would be needed.
