My experience, and more so, my research, has indicated that they both have good effects on raising the 'boiling point'.

Each pound of cap pressure raises the boiling point 3.25-degrees X cap pressure. So, if you're running a 15-lb. cap, then you've effectively raised the boiling point of your system 48.75-degrees or up to 260.75-degrees.
