Default some opinions and info needed

well i've been playing with this idea and wanting to do it to a car for a while now, so i was just wondering if it would be worth it to convert to propane injection?

pros are deffinitly higher octane and lower price, but can anyone give a reason why it would be a bad idea? (other then a possable explosion )

also does anyone know where i could get a setup or at least piece one together?

i found a topic on another sight that had a place to get em and they were pretty decently priced but they didnt have it listed on theres sites as available anymore..

Do you mean like instead of water injection etc or running on straight propane?

he means liquid propane instead of gas........

i was going to do it to my truck i want to turbo.. so i dont have to deal with fuel management.. and the idea got shot down to quickly on here

something about the exhaust gasses not being the same..

but if its for a daily driver i dont see why not..

its alot easier to convert for tbi and carb setups.. i had a tbi. but i wudnt know about ur setup

search ebay for "impco"

Don't do it. Think about how neglected your barbeque will feel.
