I thought that some company came out with an all computer controled injection kit that was supposed to make it almost fool proof. And just cuz you can throw a boat load of fuel at it and still get unbelievable fuel milage with you light little 2wd truck and you manual transmission doesn't mean you have to rub it in all of our faces! lol

There is a small gain but cannot say how much.(mpg)
I have nothing to compare the pain tune to.
Its ruff to judge on cost effective also. #2 is/has been
3 to 5 dollars a gal. My pain tank will last for over 5 to 7K miles.
22lb? You never know how much they fill it.
My Pain is only active above 10psi boost.
My motor also is a splitshot with no intercooler.

Okay.
I thought of this at one time for my gas truck as well.
Anyways.
Propane injection is only good in our trucks if you use it for what bill is doing. complete burn, which means your not really seeing any performance gains.
The other advice i got from Tim on the setup for a PSD is that you should never do a home made kit on a PSD. Our injectors are too sensitive, and your likely to blow a tip if you over fuel with the gas.
And even with a pre-setup kit, he didn't recomend it at all. He said you can do it, but you have to really know what is going on.
I get great fuel mileage in my truck 16+ easily. I havn't counted it really, I just going by hours/tank and how much fuel i use on certain trips. I've increased mine with the injectors and tuner greatly.
My front end is out of alignment too, and my tires are f-ed up.
Just my .02.
I personally would push meth/water.

I dont use the water because i have no where to install
a tank big enough so the water and fuel gets filled at about
the same time. I have a 46gal tank #2.
The water is good for keeping down the egt when throwing
fuel at it. The water will slow the rise of the egts. It cannot
bring the egt down.
Water injection and hydrogen injection peppers the turbo blade.
(non intercooled)
