I think the real achievement here is keeping the LPG. E85 Barra Turbo has been done to death. Get a built motor but keep the gas. That’s where the real challenge is with this project. Plus it wouldn’t be a taxi if it wasn’t LPG.
@PeckerwoodKustoms5 жыл бұрын
My opinion...stick to the LPG and see what you can make out of that...its an interesting road and one less travelled..chucking in a big dollar engine and E85 will get you the times but wheres the challenge in that? This is Carnage, not Gas Monkey...keep up the awesome work Scotty and the lads

I'd like to see you keep the lpg but add some water/meth injection or little nitrous to help keep the intake temps down.
