This is somewhat directed to MARCDELUCA:

Would like to know about some pain for my truck so read the sig if you could please:

Want to know how much for the kit that you offer and how it will do on my 6.5L. I have no apperant fear of blowing this one up, I was told by the manufactorer of the engine that they run this with 400+ HP, all #2, in big yatchs for hours on end and that they have "beat it like a blind 3 legged dog named lucky" on the dyno and never had a failure.

I want to make a lot of power with my truck, limited in fuel right now though. I also want it a little cheaper to run and think that running on propane will be my answer.

So, what kinda HP can I add to my IDI and what could I expect to run efficiently as far as mpg? Thanks, I have followed you alot on this board and wanna see what you think, thanks dude.

Anyone else, input please. Thanks Y'all:grd:

I just put my first kit on a 6.5 last week. So far, the buyer absolutely loves it. I really don't know how much extra power it is good for. He has put a few hundred miles on it, but I don't know yet what his average lp consumption will be. He was running pretty heavy the first day, it appeared to be around 25 mpg on the lp. I told him to back it off because it was rattling too much. With your setup, you could potentially do alot better since you will have alot more boost. IDIs can't take as much lp as DIs but there is still alot of help from the lp.

Can you PM me with a cost for the items to put together a kit? I am very handy to fabricate ANYTHING. So any brackets that need to be made I can handle to keep costs down. I am just curious to get the kit and see what kinda power a little 6.5 can make. Thanks marc, I like what you have done so far

I was running a PS2000 and it was adding 30rwhp to my truck. I never adjusted it from what it came set for.

I saw a Marc kit for the first time the other day on Chasem's truck, it's really well put together, it seemed to work great.

Nice work Marc, keep it up!!

Cheers, Wade
