Post by: skip on July 19, 2007, 20:06:38: I've alway ran a standard gap on standard plugs with my LPG converted motors and had no trouble.

However I remember that the general thinking is to reduce the plug gap from 0.8mm to 0.7mm or somthing like that, RRB knows the exact details.

Why wouldn't you be able to run a perfomance cam on gas? it's just another fuel that gets burnt, I might consider a flash lube effort though, especially if you give it beans :D

Cam, you should be ok but I'd put a rider on that, if you fitted a single point system you must take care to avoid backfires as these can be potentially disasterous. Given that LPG will reduce your power output anyway your money might be better spent on an ignition advance module, otherwise your performance cam might just waste fuel.

If yours is the Flapper EFi then I'd recomend a lifter for the VAF air meter flap and/or a backfire arrestor, in addition to a flashlube kit which protects you valves.
