The possible exception is programming that runs the engine higher on first start and then quickly retards the throttle, which might build vacuum more quickly in manifold and subsequently in the brake vacuum cylinder.

The OHB is computer driven...so bits and bytes could make more direct difference at that point.
Wow! Who is this chic, BOGIE! For President!
