Anybody have propane injection yet

I'm planning on getting propane injection next week. I can't stand this 91 octane crap. I'll be able to bump up my boost and lean out my afr along with more advance on my timing. I don't see any negatives. I'll be using a UTEC to modify the above. A 5lb bottle lasts for about a month and costs about $3 to fill. It's 110 octane and only kicks in when boosting. The bottle is DOT certified and more safe than the gas tank. I'll post results after install.

sounds to good to be true.

There's no magic, it's just fuel. The problem is it's not very accurate to control like fuel or even an EMS controlled methanol/water injection.
