HHO on a 6.0L??

I have been experimenting w/ making my own HHO generators this week and would like to know if there is any knowledge out there about using these on my 6.0L..
Any faults or things you may do differently to save me time,money and aggravation is greatly appreciated. thanks

An hho generator un-debateably cleans the engine, and gains slight efficiency.

What is debateable, is how much it does this.

Make sure you know what your doing before you play with a 10k motor.

Yeah I figured the diesel would be more difficult, but these people sell the info on these kits and just say to hood a vacuum line in front of the turbo. My thing is that there is not really any way of regulating the HHO intake this way, also I am worried about taking on water and hydro-locking the engine. Probably would not happen but is a slight possibility.
I will work on a gasser kit first. Just got my 316 stainless.

Those HHO kits are scams. If you know anything about chemistry you know that it takes more energy to release the hydrogen from water than the hydrogen will give you back in combustion.
