I am guessing that the condition of your Vacuum Shutoff Diaphragm is going to make a difference. I am thinking that an new Shutoff (with the nice new well sealed Diaphragm) might shut down earlier than an older one.
Now I've had to come clean(!) perhaps you can find that post? I'm sorry - and please don't take offence - I think something else might be influencing this sort of thing too...

...I'll be looking for the post as well of course - I think I might remember the one you mean 'cos I was wondering if the pressure in the IP could be measured in additon to the crankcase pressure (I think Kerry was involved in the conversation too)...
