Why would you need a dizzy to go straight gas? And why would you want straight gas? Just get injected gas if you're worried about power.

the beauty of gas also is you can run more boost than ulp. He's referring to dedicated gas, meaning theres no mid-tune.


do it !

yeah sorry meant dedicated gas and yes you can run more boost cause lpg has the same properties as avgas thats why all the quick sub 9sec au six engines are running straight gas.

I love that orange mustang that runs an au six straight gas and he's in the 9's

not hard at all. depends what system you want to use. gra is probably your best bet, a gas carby (or 2) and an appropriate converter (or 2) and go nuts. the au computer can be edited to adjust timing depending on what boost you are running so there's no probs there. you have 3 options for that anyway, sct flash tune, sniper tune or a j3 chip. have a look through the forced induction and lpg areas, you're not the first one to come up with this idea...

Straight gas, dedicated gas, single fuel, gas only, I know what you mean.
But yeah, do what bodes says.

i know some people on here have done it, but i think there`s a lot of head aches doing it(including making it last), my brother has tried it after 12 months he put it back to petrol, his mate also spent a lot of dollars trying it on a built engine, ended up he gave the lpg the boot.
good luck whichever way you go.
