While I sort of agree, it is after all just an engine. It makes the car move. It needs fuel to power it. LPG is fuel. To maximise the power though, sequential injection would be the way to go - a mixer ring setup would just be to restricitve and would lose more power, IMO, on a 220 than on a 200 or 185. It would still have more nett power than either, but you don't buy the most pwerful 5.0 ford Oz have made, and then purposely restrict the intake. SVI is not a restriction so you should see the same power and more torque by using it, but at greater setup cost. If I had a 220, that's the way I would have gone, but for a 185, mixer ring only robbed me of 6 rwkw, and my car is still putting out more at the wheels than a stock 185 auto (136 on gas, with RRs, extractors, exhaust etc vs 127 stock)

Hell yes .... especially with a blower bolted to the side of the motor ... the LPG and it's high octane rating ... cheap fuel ... no detonation ... BIG power ... MASSIVE torque ... there's nothing better.

OK ... I'll get back in my box now. :

But yes ... it's a dreadful fuel ... well it's not really a fuel is it? It's for BBQs.
Best not put it in car hey.

(seeing as LPG is 1/3 the price of normal ULP ... and has more octane than PULP). I want it kept quiet that it's a much better alternative than good ol' petty.

At least the indigenous Australian in Sydney couldn't syphon my tanks dry so he could get blind.
