Your experiment with "patrol + air" produces steam naturally.

Are you trying to suggest the combustion process is improved by introducing steam from an external source?
OK. assuming this is the case. 2cc/min at idle or at WOT? This is important because you can compare the ratio of steam production by natural combustion and steam introduced.
It's just a test showing different flame speeds with more or less water vapor.

I used 2cc/min at idle. 2.3L engine. Steam injected under or over carb helps flash vaporize fuel =better combustion.

I will start new thread on "steam injection"
