Great results using Alternate Fuel operating system

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?

What is the Alt Fuel OS ??

[ScarabEpic22]

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.
