You might try a HHO cell, NOT for economy, but to increase flame speed and free you of
'Nitrous range anxiety' and cost..?

I'm glad the info on Acetone increasing atomization/vaporization? was handy.
On the injectors I came up with a plastic injector cap that directs the fuel spray towards the pre-chamber feed slot. It made a major improvement at a low cost. My favorite type of modification.

On the HHO cell I had one given to me from a viewer, but it was lost in freight and never received it. So now I'm back to square one and looking for another one. This is something I need to address ASAP because as we talked nitrous is just an experimenting band aid as of now because of its extra cost.

Thanks again for the information about Acetone. This really opened my eyes to the importance of fuel atomization. Just to recap to some of the new viewers the waste solvent I use is made up of 85 to 90% Acetone. Just a quick good old boy test is spill a couple ounces of Acetone on the road vs a couple ounces of pump fuel and watch them evaporate. Acetone will be all evaporated in fraction of time compared to the pump fuel. Pump fuel has changed a ton since the mid 70's when it comes to evaporation and its volatility.
