Difference is, ull be running 10z with FULL street tune, exhaust and pump fuel compaired to C16 no pipes etc I spend a lot on my car, but look at it. The car owes me around 60K doesnt mean thats how much its gonna cost to build a 10sec gas car. My car has a lot of other things u dont need to fo that fast. EG interior etc. Thats true, my setup is fairly small! BABY cam, no head work etc, no rods. There is a LOT more then can be done we havent even come CLOSE to the full potential of LPG Wait till the new setup is done eventually, then we will what GAS gan really do hmmm true.... i think theres a tear in my eye, well said Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

"vlcalais3: is it better to go on GAS? i don't like it, for 1 you lose around 10% i think and if a car was designed to go on Petrol it should stay on Petrol " why the hell do idiots keep saying this? "if i get my car on gas i loose power". why don't people think about why they are actually considering an lpg conversion: 1. COST SAVING This is the main reasin why people do it. Take a look at the price per litre and lpg is 50 c while petrol is somewhere in the $1 mark!!!! if you want power then just stick with petrol and burn a hole in your pocket! if you wanna save money then do the conversion. why don't people wake up and see that we can no longer have the best of both worlds....even if you do a performance conversion you're still spending extra dollars. so the choice is up to you: save money or have a power under your foot!!!! stop using a hardly noticeable power loss as an excuse because it really is starting to get annoying!!
