propane injection?

Is propane injection a ligament thing? From what I heard about it it sounds great just not sure if my friend that told Mr about it is pulling my leg or not. Thanks

Propane injection will add some power but most are scared to run it in an idi due to the possibility of detonation. From what I have read though detonation usually occurs when someone adds too much propane too early. If you do run it, you would want it to come on at higher boost levels and higher in the rpm band as well. This makes detonation less likely while running it.

Right I was thinking around 10 psi which is also higher in the rpm range when I reach such boost so it will cover 10 psi to 14 psi max when I'm touring. I have heard about the detonation which is why I'm asking how much propane should be added. I'd prefer to stay on the leaner side of the propane stone I don't think I really need to add a whole lot.

Why not just turn your pump up?

It is up and as tight as the adjustment save is I believe it is up all the way just seems when I get up to 12 to 14 psi it can' give out the proper amount of fuel for all the air
