LPG

I read somewhere unturbo'd IDI's do not get very much of a kick from propane as the DI turbos.

any truth to this? I'm looking for a lil extra power on the truck without the expense of turbo's.

figure I'd ask those that know

you get a little, i had my lpg set up operating before my turbo...but with a turbo it works better and is much more fun

ok that answers that.
I'll keep my eyes open for a used turbo before I get interested in the propane.

thanks

I thought the concern was adding more fuel (LPG) without adding more air could increase exhaust temps beyond the limits. ????

not at all...the propane setup on while my truck was N/A had no effect positive or negative on my egt's too much would cause a nasty knock...preignition

Propane on a non-turbo can reduce smoke levels and increase milage IF you don't push down on the pedal harder then before. Of course, now your burning propane, so any milage savings are questionable. EGT's are always a concern. Eziekiel had NA propane, as does Zigg and many others. It is THE only real NA performance enhancement.

Turbos seem to be the common denominator with power. You can mess around with other add ons, but by the time you figure in the expense of the stuff, you probably could get a H-max on the truck and see real power gains, and there will be no questions if the truck is better. You will feel the power, NOW. Scotty
