You need to have full instrumentation showing EGT as well as NOx and HC emissions, to show that any improvements are not simply due to changes to the car's electronics.

Therefore, you need several sets of data: stock, stock system optimized by adjusting IAT, ignition timing and AFR, system on with changes, system on with further electronic changes and second electronics changes only.

Because, as being discussed in another thread, optimizing the electronics can and does result in fuel savings over the typically rough and "safe" stock settings of the car.
But, you are missing the point of the discussion. IamIan and others have made it clear that HHO has no positive affect on an engine for power and efficiency. I am saying it does under certain conditions. If an engine is sputtering and miss firing heavily at a lean condition but is able to run smoothly and produce power at that same setting with nothing but HHO/water added to the combustion conditions, then what has to be the conclusion? It is a simple example of combustion seeding.
