The challenge is to prove that a small amount of HHO does indeed speed up the combustion.
Now that should be doable with a modern car engine and an ODB2 device,
driving at a constant speed, flipping the HHO supply on and off and watching the effect on timing retard and instant fuel consumption.
Am I right in that?
Someone must have tried this already?

And the results are erratic. Software has a lot to do with this. Short term fuel trim is the best indicator. Using a variable output electrolyzer is imperative. Use too much HHO and the engine bogs if timing is not adjusted and the engine computer does things to compensate. Use too little and nothing happens. There is simply too much going on to even begin to "tune" for HHO. The work of pfgpro and others who have the ability to control their engine tune may answer more than simply dumping the gas into the intake of the common car.
