Propane Injection

I wanted to get some feedback on what propane injection system is the best. I already have a free flow intake, 4" turbo back exhaust, 6 position ts chip, gauges, and map sensor relief valve. I am putting in an aftermarket valve body in the trans, along with synth. fluid, a larger pan and an additional cooler. This truck is my daily driver, and I tow a trailer that weighs about 9000. I am thinking about running this in the stock diesel truck pulls as well, seeing as that is what I already do as a hobby in the modified four wheel drive class. So lets hear it where can I get the best power for the money, along with still being able to tow my trailer. Thanks

Yeah, I looked into bully dog, ts, ats, msd, and a few others. I don't think that the msd setup will work to well with my setup, because it runs off of the map sensor. That is how it feeds the propane, by the amount of boost that the map sensor sees and I have that limited. I am just trying to get some input.

Powershot 2000. Simple and proven safe and effective. Not just claimed to be the safest.

Here is a link to a very informative threadhttps://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=458067&highlight=powershot+2000.

truck, do most have a liquid valve or a vapor valve? Next, I see this system is mounted at the tank, I live in the north will the road salt and sand effect this? I have been looking at the systems a little more. I like some of the features of the TS system but do you know if you can turn this on and off in the cab? Thanks

Sorry, this is what I ment to post

OK I have a couple of questions for powershotone. I wanted to use a forklift tank mounted under my truck, do most have a liquid valve or a vapor valve? Next, I see this system is mounted at the tank, I live in the north will the road salt and sand effect this? I have been looking at the systems a little more. I like some of the features of the TS system but do you know if you can turn this on and off in the cab? Thanks

Most "true" forklift tanks are liquid tanks because the forklift runs off of propane only . Some people call all horizontal tanks "forklift" tanks. Some do have both liquid and vapor ports. Forklift tanks are generally aluminum and should not be mounted under the vehicle.

RV Vapor tanks are horizontal and are frame mounted tanks which is what you would want with a Powershot system. I also live in the north, and all the components are weather resistant, and can be exposed to the elements. You can also remote mount them off the tank, if you prefer. Most all systems have on/off switches in the cab to totally disarm the system when desired.
