Also are you specifically referring to a baking soda electrolyte, would not other electrolytes like KOH be different in their percentages?

Yeah, he meant H2 to O2 is a 1:8 ratio by weight which works out to 1/9th by weight for 11.1% or so.
I've only seen one guy try to use just H2 and he was running a 750cc motorcycle. It's odd because in his setup he puposefully seperated the O2 and put it out to atmosphere and combusted using H2 and air. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, to me you already have H2 and O2, so why use air? You could use a close system even if you actually produced enough. In my mind HHO at it's normal 1:8 ratio by weight is already designed to perfectly combust. So now all that's left is to cram however much you want into your engine. At 100% VE in a 1L that'd be 1L of displacement for every 2 revolutions (1 OTTO cycle), so if you had 100% VE and wanted to use your full displacement I would say 3200rpm = 1600 cycles = 1600L/m.
Of course if you seperate off and just use H2 and air then I have no idea. Clearly the only thing that 'burns' in air is O2 and I think that's 8% of air by volume. I don't know the % by weight of air, but if you had that you'd know the weight of H2 you'd need based on the 1:8 ratio and could go from there. You can't win though because whatever the H2 requirement would have to come from the 1600L/m HHO. The only advantage I can see is if you can keep it from preigniting then maybe you can run half the H2 and just get half the power and go to full power as you needed it.
Here's the best link I've found:

Starting on page 78 is Bob Boyce's electrolyzer which supposedly produces 1200% more than it should by drawing 'energy from the environment'. If you have any hope of creating 1600L/m you might as well use a 'free energy' device ;P. I gotta admit I'm not electrician but I don't see how his big field coil in aluminum can do that. The idea of AC pulsing makes good sense though because it keeps the gas from sticking to the plates.
