I'm merely pointing out that 144 watts in and of itself is misleading in this context. And also the displacement of the engine is a variable as well, since 144 watts isn't going to have the same effect. But it is a good starting point anyway. There are a fair number of variables but not infinite, so the best way to seganize it is to isolate those variables via experimentation. You stated that under certain conditions you can get more than 144 watt gain with hho, can you graph out the gain vs those variables for a given displacement/configuration? Is it largely tied to rpm?
