In particular the V8 model. Just wondering if it's do-able, and what effect it would have on it's performance?

Hehe i got a new Rodeo in at work the other day and it had wat was ment to be a new start of the art gas system installed, so i poped the bonnet and had a peak basically it had wat i could make out was individual LPG injectors a LPG fuel rail, which had all been tapped into the plenum into each individual runner, then it also comprised of a LPG ecu, though prob not a performance flowing system as installed but it obviously has the potential to do something performance wise, but i think the basic system cost was about $3500. But something to think about none the less

Not so easy Allan, the car's probably well and truly left his factory now. It would have been easier for you to turn up at his factory from your place to see it. Rather than photos
