Thanks for the link, but i knew about EFIE's already i was just looking for an easier way. An no, i do not believe a carb will do better. I was simply saying that for leaning out the fuel, a carb is easier to do it on than some type of EFI setup.

You really want to lean it out? Lower your fuel pressure. Falsify your coolant temp voltage. Just don't blame me if you ruin your engine k?

I have been around this HHO stuff for about a year now and i feel like i have gotten a pretty good feel for it. Though from this thread it seems like EFIE is still the only way to go. You really cant ruin the engine with that. I was just hoping for a little screw somewhere like on a carbed vehicle. Be easier that way.

There is no little screw on a carburetor that will lean it out. That's just for idle mixture.

Although there is no screw to lean out the mixture above idle, changing out metering rods and jets on an Edelbrock/Carter carb is about as easy as it gets.
