Update! Took it to the track last night, drove 160 miles one way, no cool down, it went 10.91@126 @ 4600lbs and 17lbs of boost. 1.67 60' on 10 year old drag radials. Spun hard on the second pass hit the rev limiter and blew one of the carb hats off lol, called it a night. Here is a video my buddy finished last night of when it was on the dyno. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDXo...ature=youtu.be

I had a propane Chevy truck years ago. Back in the 80's. Then Calif. taxed the crap out of propane and it was more expensive than gas. So much for their clean fuel bullshit!! Did notice than you have to have your foot on the gas alot more. Uses more fuel than gas much like alcohol fuel.

I ended up going 10.8's with it, everything was maxed out, turbo etc. Sold it at the beginning of this season. I'll be starting on version 2.0 this Fall, It's a 2007 gmc Canyon with a L33, China PT88, th400, 8.8 explorer diff, On propane again with a few new things I never got to try on the last setup. I'll be starting a build thread soon.

Should you (OP) be able to prolong the oil changes due to the much cleaner combustion process of LP?
