I believe this will be the case. As long as its consistent it will work.

I just want to use it to compare various conditions, cold engine versus hot, higher and lower speeds, trailer versus trailerless, intake air at various temperatures, different levels of ignition timing, aero mods.

If it leans out too much too fast that will pretty much make it useless for testing different levels of ignition advance, but also might allow me to find a lean burn sweet spot.
