I plan to run liquid injected gas on an LS3 with a top mount blower. Everything I have researched so far say its not only possible, its a bloody good thing to do. It will only work with injected gas though, the old style mixer system is unsuitable.

LPG is 110 Octane, run gas only and tune to suit, not only do you have more power but you have cheaper fuel. Win/Win.

although you use more gas than fuel so dunno how it would work out economically

Yep, easily doable. The injection management ecu runs from the MAF signal and is scaled to compensate for different AFRs LPG inj. Still runs the stock ecu and tune as well

Pretty sure you use 15% more LPG than petrol per 100km or unit of distance. Yet it is generally half the price, so you're still saving a fair bit.
Also, who cares, more power :p

I think you use 30/40% more gas then fuel.....Gas also carries less energy meaning worse fuel consumption. and power? Also possible head / valve problems

Also doesn't gas burn hotter then petrol? Making heat soak a bigger problem.

My SSV uses 13l/100 on gas OR petrol, no noticeable power difference running on either, if anything more power when I fill
With 100% propane (110RON) instead of regar auto blend (106RON)

Best thing I did with her.
