Liquid propane injection???
Taking a look at a few options and just wondering if anyone has ever ran the idea of liquid propane injection system on an Ls motor with boost, only reason I ask is because I had an interview today with a company that makes conversion kits for the newer 6.0's looks like it would be a decent system propane has octane rating of 105 or so and is super clean burning.. Anyone have any experience with this?

I take it you want liquid Propane injectors ? Clean oil is always a added +

I dont remember if they ever boosted this project or not but they did alot of R&D on propane injection.

Gaseous propane injection would require very large injectors.
Liquid propane injection would not. The problem is most current systems take the gas in the tank in liquid form, reduce pressure and it turns to gas form in the regulator/condensor or whatever you want to call it, and then they supply it to be injected into the engine.
There are modern liquid injection systems out there, just not sure how commonplace they are yet. But if they can maintain high enough pressure to maintain liquid right until entry into the inlet manifold...it would be great.
A high octane fuel, a fuel that will impart a huge cooling effect ( just as happens with nitrous when it goes from liquid to gas, although to a lesser extent ) and as others say a cleaner burning fuel.
It's finding the right kit to make it happen. Are they out there ?
