Question homemade propane injection.

Hey guys, why dont or do people make a simple propane system simular to a dry nitrous system? For a race only app. seems like a 4an nitrous line adapted to a propane bottle, then a nitrous solinoid and a dry kit style nozzle with changable jetting would do the trick. If this would work it sure would be cheaper and so easy to do. Might no give the kick as nitrous but really just hoping to use the first part of the track to get the big single spooled. Not trying to be to cheap here either, i dont mind nitrous ive used it for years. But wouldnt it work as well with propane in this application???? Thanks please any comments, really interested in what people think on this before i give it a try!!

Think really high drive pressures. Better git you some studs.

Also the conputer controlled nitro and water/meth setups only add when the turbo is spooled to my understanding.

I agree the systems are designed for every day driving, and the setup is prob. very nice but not needed in a race application. Just want a simple system to help spool up the big single. I know the nos like this workd well but man the propane would be cheap if it worked well too. Thanks
