Propane injection
I did a search but found very limited information on this. It seems to be a good, cheap set up and provide a decent amount higher octane level than pump gas, at a fraction of the cost of race gas.
Anybody running this on there car? Or can shoot me some info? Thanks

Re: Propane injection (mitsuman)
There is/was some guy helping people pass CA emissions with propane here on HT. IIRC your law states that alternative fuel vehicles are exempt from lots of laws, as long as they pass emission gas standards. He used part & full-time propane injection to get custom turbo kit'd cars through all the hoops you have to jump through.
Propane allows for very clean burning, but its about half the energy of gasoline per gram. It works with diesils since it won't really knock/pre-ignite, and allows for less soot. Less soot (unburnt fuel) = more power made. For gasoline engines, it just adds cleaner fuel like meth injection. I'd rather go with alky since its decreases IAT's, allows for more timing, yet still gets burned as fuel - cleanly as well. Plus its not compressed in a tank that can explode.
You'd probably run out rather quickly at high power levels, and it doesn't take much to guess the problems with going from 100octane to 92octane at 30psi of boost.

You, sir have the right idea. Only problem is it cost more per gallon then race gas does ;-)
