HHO does not work. You are putting an additional 1 horsepower load on the engine by adding a 20 to 30 amp alternator load and getting almost nothing in return. And every creditable source agrees.

I'm neither of those.
I use carburetors and just spent around $6,000 turning my 454 smog motor into a 489 with aluminum performance bow tie heads.
I do care about fuel economy. That's why I have air fuel meter, advanced carb tune kit, switchable cold air and thermostatic intake, engine block, coolant and oil heaters.
