Options for v8 probs

[5.0 ED]

Ok, i have an au series 1 with mods etc. currently producing 170rwkw's very lean, previously everything else (mod wise) was in a XF producing 219rwkw's on lpg with a power plus typhoon manifold. But the AU has a stuffed maf, and i need a tune and im thinking why not just stick the lpg setup i had in xf on it. What do you guys reckon? Or should i just shall out for a maf and tune?

I should mention that i would still have to convert car to lpg to do this, so cost is probably about the same.

I'd get the petrol side of things fixed properly, and then convert to dual fuel anyway.

Its a hard decision. It depends on your budget.

I'm a fan of dual fuel myself, but if your straight gas setup was really good and gave you no hassles, perhaps that's the best option.

I just don't like the idea of being caught short with gas only.

All the best with your decision.

Thanks for you input, but im more thinking that i drill fit injectors into typhoon manifold and i have to put a tps on anyway for the auto, so it would still run on petrol.

if your after bhp increase comp to 11.5:1 on straight gas.
or duell fuel as per usuall..a maf can be had for under a hundred at a wreaker.
or for free at sims metal before its screaded.

yeah but its a little hard to get my comp from 9.6 to 11.5 without replacing pistons. i've already deck 40thou off heads to get 9.6. i'd love to get it up to 11.

Wow rather interesting to see that 6 have voted tune and only 1 for lpg. Now im thinking again.
