Congrats on the new pb Paul!. The car will only go faster from here on in,
10.01 for the first outting with all the new changes is a great starting point.
Dont worry about to the whole propane vs pump lpg debate, I only ever ran pump lpg and I never felt any difference between servos. Hell I would fill up from anywhere it never made any difference. I was curious to see what the fuss was about and if I had the car longer I possibly would of tried it, Im sure you'll make the switch when your ready.
Till then best of luck with it all, I'm looking forward to seeing how far you'll raise the bar

It was never meant to be a lpg v propane war. I just asked if Paul had tried it.
Its was almost like a 98 v e85 question as you can make more power? but get less mileage.
I know it isnt available as much, like E85 isnt.
But when you are realistically trying to get the quickest time possible why would you run on 91 when you can run on 98 because unlike the 98 v e85 debate, nothing needs to be change other than tune?

Nice MPH and et
Thats a man sized turbo on that thing.. Comes up nice though, whoever is tuning is pulling the right 1's abd 0's.
Yeah using rubber hose on big turbo cars with a real converter and brake they will let go every time. You get anywhere between 10 and 20 deg per second temp rise your on the brake. Rubber hose is rated at about 150 deg C and Teflon is about 250 deg C with a much higher pressure rating. I would say the hose temp fatigued rather than the fitting let go. Speedflow fittings are as good if not better than what I stock.. its just rather expensive.

Yeah true man what would I know... I've just worked with LPG Australia formerly the alpga on development and issues surrounding quality of gas
Shell had a recall on their gas had a few times, and from what I can tell there is a class action being put together to recover costs from damaged converters etc
Anyway, well done gas!
Anyway,

Nice vids Paul, car comes up fast as **** on the convertor... great combo.
Kane I agree with you, and there is no debate regarding LPG vs Propane... propane sh1ts all over LPG, end of story.. for quality and performance. Just good to know that once the LPG system is working at max capacity there is still more to come if Paul and Jason want it.
Paul, did you need to upgrade the throttle body? or is still a 440 type?
