For the cost, why not just water/meth? Propane is a fuel source and can alter the firing characteristics in the engine, ie the head gasket may not like it as you already mentioned. I am not a fan of propane even on stock power applications...

With all the kits out there now, I think a water/meth setup with our application (12V heads) would do well. I am considering one just for towing the RV..
