Why not do propane injection?

I'll be paying damn near nothing to run race gas trim on the daily.

i think its better than using leaded race gas that fucks up your O2 sensors especialy for the people that have wide band's

Im for sure not using this since I dont need it .... yet. But I thought some people might find it useful.

And the comercial high octane gas will also damage rubber hoses and seals.
i've read the notes, that site has actually been around for a long ass time.

back from the dead b/c I'm looking at this shit.

Hear its better than running 116 which I do sometimes.


comment on the propane injection. friend of mine tried this, put the car on the dyno, it was all over the place, gained like 10hp I think. Didn't seem worth the PITA effort. Though I'm sure others have gotten it to work successfully.
