Hello, my name is Willem and I'm from Holland (just like Floffy a few pages down). I have a '72 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with a 455. The engine is apart right now, and its getting a little souped up. Some specs: bore: 4.155, stroke: 4.250 Aluminum heads flowing about 310cfm/in, 220 cfm/ex (approx) Single plane intake 11.6:1 static compression ratio 1.7 roller rockers Big hydraulic camshaft (http://www.cranecams.com/?show=browseParts&lvl=2&prt=5&Vehicle_Type=Auto&Cylinders=8&Engine_Make=OLDSMOBILE&Year=1972&Engine_Size=260-455%20C.I.&partNumber=809641&partType=camshaft) (lift with the 1.7 rr is .623") Spinning to max 6k rpm. (let me know of I've left out anything important) I don't want to go with mixers. I've seen the Profire website, and I'm very interrested in LPI. But, what will I need? Are two fuel tanks necessary? How big should my fuel lines be, and should they be made from coper? What brand/kind of converters? Same for injectors? And anything else that I missed? Thanks in advance, Willem

sounds like a nice lil setup! but i think your best chances would be to enquire with the company itself for those details. see how you go though!

Hey thanks! The goal is to make 600 foot pounds of torque and the same for horsepower at the crank. I was hoping that liquid propane injection would support that kind of power.
