I just don't see the "extra" oxygen being in the exhaust stream to begin with, so no further modifications should be necessary to "see a gain" from HHO, correct?
Ok, so the math may be there to support the enhanced combustion theorem (source, please?), but I still can't warp my intelligence enough to figure out where this "extra" oxygen gas comes from.

That's the part I've been trying to figure out, as well.
