Best i know of is 370rwkw out of a vl on LPG. they all use GAS RESEARCH systems, but they have been modified for the power. Is the 370rwkw done by the shop you recommended?

The new lnjections systems out by profire etc will support big power, but I think your looking at over $5000 to have it set up right.

I fit Profire in VIC. Your right that it is pricey, but it is the ULTIMATE in performance LPG. The scope for improvements arte limitless with staged injection, meaning you can run 16 injectors on a V8 with twin regulators. They have a LS1 VY over there in WA that they are sorting out how to get more than 650 kw from it. Because of the design of the inlet manifold it is limiting how much LPG vapour and air can be crammed in there with the twin turbo's. But from what I here that VY will be pushing some pretty impressive numbers soon. I have a VL V8 I will be doing for a customer in the next month or so. Its N/a at the moment but the beauty of running aftermarket ECU the chase for mor HP is easy just bolt on the HP adder and retune to suit. If you run out of flow, run bigger injectors or more injectors whilst still running the one ECU and harness. I am running it on my 4 cyl and I am running the 8 cyl harness so if I ever run out of flow I just fit an extra set of 4 injectors and off I go.

I sent you a PM last week or the week before, did you receive it?

Go to Addicted Performance in Hallam.... 97086232. They built and tuned some big power gas cars... for example the record holder of the gas vl scene(10.35). also another 2 vls with 315kw (lpg.747 - 10.9)). All 10s cars. The tuner is a gun with gas. They are certified gas research dealers and fitters.... Unbelievable workshop and have got full dyno (very tight and accurate) and soon to have engine dyno. They are forever expanding and are well known to have quality cars. Everytime I go past to see them about my car they have show cars that run 8s. That has to say something and personally my car has never run better. The combination of Danko the owner(V8 specialist) and Ben the tuner (Turbo Specialists) they ARE the best team. You won't be dissapointed...

How well do the motors take lpg with that much boost? I mean, most cars have head and valve recession problems with just na gas systems, so how do motors hold up with so much of it forced in? You'd get crazy exhaust temps too wouldn't you?
