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.

Your thinking in terms of "brute force" electrolysis, Only going to work that way if you pressurize the hho but not for very long, since you have a bomb then. (50 PSI). you would only have the HHO on when the cell goes below a certain amount of pressure then it would turn off. The amp load would only be a short time then. If you don't use brute force then you won't have to worry about the load on the alternator. You need to think in terms of Pulse signal and adding a magnetic field to it that collapse on it self and and goes back out. Think of duty cycle too. You would take down the amperage draw and still have the same or more amount of hho that you normally would with a dirct draw of 30 amps.
now onto your Carb issue. hho no problem with it, the key is making enough to keep up with the engine if you plan on replacing the gasoline eventually.
