Fixed. sort of.

That was hard to read.

i'm no english teacher but i know punctuation will go a long way, if its too hard to read most people will go on to another thread or not answer a question correctly.


as for your question, i'd keep the gas. although i don't know what the limits of lpg are... how much power do you want? obviously alot if your re-building.

Use the latent energy of evaporation of the LPG to cool the inlet manifold rather than simply dumping the "cool" into the coolant system? No need for an intercooler? I've often thought of this as an idea....

If you have it, KEEP IT!!

From my (admittedly meagre) knowledge, one of the biggest benefits of LPG, aside from better fuel economy and more power, is the additional cooling effect on the intake charge.

Why would you kick it?
