Is anyone running a propane system on thier truck. I was thinking about doing this for a little extra power. Are there any drawbacks or things you would have done different.

There are alot cheaper ways to make power than propane. chips, or injectors. you will only get around 70 hp with it, you can get that from a ez or a smarty, and not make as much head pressure as well, or have to fill up the bottle

IMHO- Propane can make sense used to help economy (I have seen the numbers broken down before, and even figuring the cost of the propane he was ahead.)

But there are newer, more efficent ways to make power, like Brian said. There has to be a reason that the drug of choice is water/meth now, not propane.

most even use nos over pane. i may run some (more) drugs down the road

Get you a Swanker Brian, ports for your drugs, and a sender for IAT Fill that last hole...

blackdiesel

how may nozzles do they use for nos? ive already got 2 drilled and tapped into it

displacedtexan

I'm pretty sure just 1 for nos... So you would still have one empty hole.

who all makes propane kits??

there was one i liked but i can't find there web-site anymore and it was called
EEE-TEE digital desgins
it was a digitial propane system out of canada. they were usually used on semi's, but did have for dodge and so forth.

and they sell them in Far northern MN with a place called Rooster or something i know it had a Rooster on there front page.

any help on finding this company would be great.

thanks.

also who else makes digitial proane kits??

There are several Propane kits out there. I know that the Bully Dog and MSD kits are fairly popular with guys that choose to go that route.... Still; like said before, there are better ways.

Powershotone

There is the Powershot 2000 and ATS as well. Many people use propane injection as a safe and effective means to increase fuel economy, torque and horsepower. With the amount of propane able to be controlled, realistic net gains of 1-3 mpg are achieved even on over the road semi trucks. There are many other ways to make power true, but most users of propane injection add it as an enhancement to their other towing or performance modifications.

Water injection is intended to lower EGT's, not to increase fuel mileage or make power. If a lot of people use it, that means a lot of vendors sell it.

Here is a thread with some further information:

Yeah, all you need is one hole in your intake for NOS. Im still thinking pretty hard about one of those *pink* swankers, but still not for sure...
