Default Info on propane injection? links?

I know this is a N20 section but the propane as injection in tandem with N20 would be interesting. Anyone have any links or experience with propane inj systems?

Search for ProPain injection (not sure on spelling). The GN guys use it alot for supplimental boost at the track....These guys make a nice kit.
Propane is awsome! Its a very high octane fuel. The best part is that its a dry fuel so no puddling, great distribution. Plus if you go way rich all it does is kill power not rings! Im sure once folks get over the explosion fear issue it will catch on. Propane is cheap as well. Hey, I would have to think twice about it for the street but at the track, sounds like the best deal!

Theres several Viper guys using the kits as well, from ProPain and another company, forgot the name. I looked into it myself, and other than running at sanctioned events, I wouldnt have a problem, but I need to see if it is legal for NHRA or not? Anyone?

not to sure on NHRA rules but its not really popular as far NHRA goes, i mean I've been to a few a events and to my knowledge no one is ever using propane injection. Saw an LT1 Camaro at a super chevy a few years back that hooked up some propane to his car.

Mixing Propane and Nitrous Oxide looks crazy. **** gets cold really fast.

my guess its illegal since there isn't classes for it, i would assume had it been legal they would ether do one of two things. let everyone use it (not happening) or two make a class for it. but again i haven't seen a class for it, but maybe i was off getting something to eat or a beer... who knows.

well it sounds like noone has really tried it so what are suggestion on how we should? think we could try with a small shot then add the propane and check it with a wideband to make sure it didnt get too lean?
