    Juicin' the 6.2

    Certain injectors allow more fuel to be squirted directly into the cylinder, also some allow a finer mist that allows better combustion. Propane injection allows at least 30% better combustion of your fuel. Believe you can get these thru Gale Banks..... Injector pin puts more fuel (in your IP)...
