OK, I told you guys that when I got it finished I'd let you know... Well, it's done and makin' gas, lotsa' gas! I am still breaking in the plates so there are no numbers yet. I'm going to run at least 3 gallons of water through the system before I even attempt measurements of gas production or mileage gains. What I can tell you now with absolute authority is that my N/A 7.3 acts like it had a turbo installed, either that or it's on ****! When we visited Drew (DeepRoots) he mentioned that it sounded a little soft, like the timing was a bit retarded... Now I'm glad it was/is, because the hydrogen/oxygen flame front is SO much faster than diesel that it has the effect of advancing the timing somewhat. Some of the differences I've noticed so far- Lots more power across the entire usable RPM range. RPM's build a lot faster now. No longer necessary to run the powerband for shifting- I have had to retrain myself to short shift now. I can actually gain speed in fifth going up the steep-ass Mathews Bridge, rolling 45 at the base, I can be at 70 at the top and NOT have to downshift. Here is a video I did after the first test drive.
