I know just enough to be dangerous. I have run LP tractors and pickups since 1958. I have put 21 pickups on LP that have computers. One mistake doing this and the vehicles computer is history. I haven't made a mistake .....yet. I know very little about pulling tractors. What I do know is the Century M6 or the Impco E Vaporizer is good for 350 hp. You have enough fuel supply with either set up. Tests show that you can get up to 450 - 500 hp. with this equipment. I would think intakes and fuel flow would be the first place to start. In High School it was common practice to put a bigger carburetor on your Hot Rod. The motor would stall or "fall on its face" when you hit the gas. Next was a cam with more lift and duration. This helped but things still weren't right. Finally a better Intake manifold was added. Each item helped and added to the engines HP. When all 3 items were installed and set correctly it all came together and some real HP was made. I always felt the first step in making more HP was Cam Duration. The longer the valves are open the more air and fuel flow you will get. You have enough fuel supply, but you can only shove so much air and fuel through the intake and valves. Just my thoughts.
