Volumetric and molecular stoichiometric ratio for gasoline is 14.7:1? I've found a few sites that say stoichiometric efficiency of gasoline by weight is 14.7:1

My goal here isn't to argue with you...I dont want to seem like Im questioning you. Im just trying to understand this the best I can so Im suited to actually make something worth a damn. The way I come across isn't always as respectful as I mean it to.

Also, very little power can be made with hydrogen vs gasoline. 1 cubic foot of hydrogen creates about 5 bhp; that's before engine resistance and heat losses are added. So, maybe 2 or 3 BHP per cubic foot of hydrogen. That's not shit. I dont even think the car will idle. However, an intresting note is that this will cool the motor. Maybe I can run the car hella lean? Maybe like 22:1 before hydrogen is added.

Another thing to consider is how the O2 sensor is going to read the exhaust from the extra water in the exhaust.
