I don't have a monaro.. but I do have an LPG'd LSV8

Hi guys, I'm a bit of an interloper as I don't actually have a Monaro or HSV.

I do have an LS (LQ9) though and I'm running it on LPG. I was wondering if anyone else is running an LS on LPG and would care to share experiences?

I've been running mine on lpg for over 4 years and about 35 k

My last non ls vehicle I did 100k on .

And I had a ford f150 V8 on lpg too. Was already converted but ran great

My LS2 is LPG'd, and has done about 120k on LPG. No issues whatsoever and still runs great

I did find out to my cost though that there is a lot to be said for a well-specced quality LPG installation. Once it was all sorted I had a petrol and LPG back to back dyno run, and the drop was about 8 bhp at the top end. The rest of the power band was more or less identical.

Mine is a multipoint system with a King mirroring ecu that I purchased from TinleyTech and ran on the old RV8 engine for many years.

I had a terrible misfire on the LQ9 and everyone on the US forums said it won't be the coils, the truck coils especially are very powerful.

Well I have Magnecor KV85 leads and iridium plugs so was assuming I had a problem elsewhere.

On the off chance, I decided to gap my plugs down to 0.65mm and the misfire has all but disappeared.

On another note, I'm going to buy HPtuners so that I can have a bit of a tweak with the settings and get cruise control working. The tuning company I sent my ECU to to remove VATS didn't fill me with confidence.
