Some guys at work have played with the stuff, and have done alot of research on the process.

Yeah - I've seen a few builds on TV where propane injection was used; mostly in extreme 4X4 builds or service usage, but still cool.
I think it's a stretch for Z28, let alone Camaro, at least at this time, though. Regardless of that, when I think about if I would buy Z28 with propane injection, I don't think I would. I'm not calling BS on anyone, just that I really don't see it being any less than a hassle to fill up; if ZR1 and CTS-V are any measure of fuel consumption, it'd be a lot, lol. I don't doubt the potential either, but that'd be too much for me. Though, if there were a system to switch from petrol' to propane, that'd be something to really consider; that'd also be a lot more weight...
Let's just see a few more shots - especially under the hood
