Matt's everyday work ute ! Holden VZ , 6.0 Ls2 , cam, 2800rpm convertor , exhaust and APS air box .

Matt's ute has the JTG Liquid LPG injection setup.

We tidied up the tune and dynoed it on Thursday night , made 314 KW at the rear wheels on LPG using EFI Live alternative fuel operating system ( LS1 Ecu)

Matt filled the LPG tank before he left , cost a whole $42

Drove Frankston to Heathcote -

First couple of runs were done on street tyres , as the drag radials on 15" rims wouldn't fit over the big rear discs.

Matt managed a 12.3 on Friday night on street tyres - LPG of course.

Saturday morning the boys swapped over the rear discs to fit the radials ( to save the street tyres really) the ute then ran all day , pass after pass after pass , 12.48, 12.47, 12.70, 12.69, 12.79, 12.75, 12.71, 12.87. ( there are more time slips but I can't find them !)

We worked it out that every run cost approx 5 cents on fuel.

Sunday morning , swapped the tyres back and drove home , still with LPG in the tank !

And best of all , Matt felt he was being "environmentally friendly" the whole time ! LOL

I saw a few runs from this ute & was quite impressed. Would have cost more for the tyre usage than the fuel.lol.
Unfortunately a few oil issues kept me busy for the day or I would have come over & said hello.

Is this the same Ute that caught the tires on fire?

Im trying to figure that out, it says LS1 PCM in the first post...maybe using the nitrous one to pull timing? If not, the E38/E67s have a COS that lets you install a switch to activate the FlexFuel tables in the ECM. That means another IFR table, 2 spark tables, etc at the flick of a switch.

I'll see if I can get Ross to elaborate - it is a LS1 , we have alternate fuel spark and commanded PE tables to play with.
