Hi Brett, sounds like a great weekend.

Bit of a change of direction at the moment. I am waiting for approval to go to fuel injection instead of the LPG.

I had a number of issues but mainly the height of the gas system, running dual quads, can't get them under a bonnet scoop and still look the way I wanted it to. So, if I have to rethink, I am going to try and go to petrol and then run a throttle body (Weber look) injection system. Height of manifold....height of adapter plates to fit Holley bases, height of adapter to turn impcos so you can run gas feed lines.....by the time it was finished I would have to ramp the bonnet from front to back to make the scoop height legal. Dont really want to do that.

I can sell the gas stuff back. Advantaged to me, better looking induction, easier access to fuel supplies, I get my boot back, I will have a much more tunable system, better mileage per litre.

Disadvantage, Cats, expense of fuel, only run premium because of compression built for the gas engine (11:1).....

Cheers
Andrew
