I for one would love to have some real world data and impressions on this sort of thing.

Given the final drive gearing and wheel size etc we can quite easily work out at what speed a particular pressure should occur. It would be interesting to find out if it can be reproduced under different circumstances - in other words can the modulating pressure that is influenced by vacuum be tuned to get the engine and transmission to behave as though there is a different engine and transmission configuration?
