3. In the killed cylinder what happens to the un-burnt fuel that is injected?
4. Does it matter if you tap into the pos or neg side of the coil wires?
If these are stupid questions please forgive me.

Question #1: This my biggest concern with this product. Hopefully JJ will get some testing done.
I haven't talked to JohnnyP about this, but from reading about the vampire it almost seems that it has a "learning" feature. If it detects knock it retards the timing in each cylinder until it figures out which cylinder was knocking. In essence the knock sensor doesn't know which cylinder is knocking, but from trial & error the Vampire figures it out. I might be totally off basis on this, hopefully Johnny will chime in and set me straight.
Question #2 I didn't think it killed the spark for any revolutions, I thought it just retarded a few degrees. Bill where did you read that it killed the spark? I must of missed it.
