I can appreciate that, and sorry the pressure plug is crazy expensive (probably $20 in parts if anyone is looking for an open source project to start, and a brake horsepower dyno project would be nice too ).

But you kinda did release "data", so can you help me understand what controls were used? The reason I ask is because presumably the FVT xprize team did tune for a specific rpm in a series hybrid, and despite having an engine running a generator and charging/discharging a battery, and finally running an electric motor, they were showing good numbers. And they didn't use HHO. So it is possible you managed to recreate peak bsfc tuning as well (which would fall off sharply) and the hho was a red herring.
