I've seen someone mention propane on this before. What would you use a propane-powered rotary for?

not that propane is much cheaper. but it does burn much cleaner. and the octane rating on it is much higher. i dont have any exact numbers. but i know you can throw crazy boost at it.



this is has to be for NA looking at the length of the runners though...
