Haha...only thing I'd question is the reliability of that source for highly technical and thus complex issues, which you refer to as facts. Remember, anyone can answer that webpage, and therefore also attracts the so-called internet gurus, who know everything about anything. Best answer...according to who? Another inet guru?

Nevertheless, I'd say running LPG on a 'drifter' which is also a dailydriver might be beneficial in the long run, but for a 'track-only drifter' I'd do some basic maths to calculate if there are any financial benefits. Remember, for those ca. £2000 for the kit/installation, you'll get ca. 1600+ litres of petrol, which means you can go to more than 50 DWYBs or whatnot, assuming you've spending ca. 30 litres/session. And that covers the kit/installation, not the actual LPG you'll end up using, which isn't free either, plus the consumption is higher than on petrol.

What comes to performance, I'd put my money on not losing significant power if a high-quality LPG kit is installed/mapped properly. I'm sure someone who has actually fitted LPG-sets professionally can confirm that. But I've got limited knowledge on this topic anyway.
