I think he gets into the 2nd tank on a long day or a situation where a lot of throttle is being used. This is also on a moderately built 460 (estimated 325 HP, 500 ft-lb torque) in a fullsize truck with 42's. He lost a little high rpm power going from a Quadrajet but it was worth it. I've rode in his truck during a mud bog and the engine was running 5k rpm through some pretty deep mud and it's not geared low at all.
I already have an intake and distributor, so all I need is the propane setup. I'm not sure what is up with the EFI on my rig. It started acting weird a while ago, well before I changed the cam and put the multiport on it. The cam made it worse. I want to eliminate any bs that can go wrong. I think this is the best route in the long run.
