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?

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.
