How many lbs of boost for propane?

I just finished setting up my propane injection system on my 7.3 NA, and I would like to know what everyone would recommend for the lbs of propane to use?

I know that 5 would probably be the max. Do turbos require more propane or less propane than a NA engine?

I haven't driven it yet becuase I am having my pinion seal replaced tomorrow. After that I will test the system out and let you know about the results.

Thanks in advance for any advice on the amout of propane to inject.

Re: How many lbs of boost for propane?

Scotty,
I went to the PS2000 site. They only showed kits for turbo engines (I think). Anyone know what the improvement might be in a NA 7.3?
I am meeting fellow member Exekiel tomorrow. And just trying to learn a bit more about propane.
Thanks,
Charlie

Re: How many lbs of boost for propane?

for the first question the turbo uses more flow of propane, because it add's more air and the fuel pump is turned up most of cases so you can use more propane.

and ps2k and bully dog (they sale the system that work's on n/a) they said you can get from 20-30 hp increase wich is not bad for the money.

i'm planing to make the whole system myself and i also have this project to add more air flow to the engine at the same time. will get back with result's
