umm, on the surface that doesn't make sense. The extra H needs the extra O that it was just divorced from (in stoich proportions). There really isn't extra O at combustion time in an hho, it is small enough compared to nitrogen that the mass airflow flow isn't affected much.

Again that explanation doesn't make much sense, to me anyway. And with a 305, I can imagine lots of ways to detune it. How much steam did your bubbler make? How did you validate the 40%? Did you find a grilled cheese sandwich that said 40% on it?
