21/04/2010 - JTG Performance @ LSX Shootout
A.P.S. Service Centre foreman Matt's everyday work ute , JTG
LPG , VZ Ls2 ,LPG Cam, 2800rpm Torque Convertor , Sports Exhaust and APS cold air box .
A.P.S. tidied up the tune and dynoed it on the preceeding thursday night ,the ute made 314 at the rear wheels on
JTG LPG , further tuning made available by using EFI Live alternative fuel operating system ( separate ignition timing and air/fuel corrections for high performance usage )
Matt filled the
LPG tank before he left , cost him a whole $42 ( compared to almost $100 if he had used premium unleaded fuel.
Drove Frankston to Heathcote - approx 220 Km
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 12.31 @ 115 MPH on Friday night on street tyres -
JTG 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 on LPG 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 , Matt 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
