I'm not too worried about high idle, because I don't idle.

What I'm hoping to learn is whether there's significant fuel enrichment above idle (ie. while driving) when the engine is cold.

I'm wondering if a valid test is to rev it to, say 2k RPM while cold and monitor GPH with the mod active vs. not active.
