ok, so i finally got my car registerd thismorning, i took it out for a run, i put a full tank of gas in it and a half tank of petrol to compair (i used 100 octain, yes, expensive!)

neways, it runs pretty good on gas, doesnt use much, but its VERY low on power, like 50% lower than wat it was when i switched on the fuel, it couldnt even spin the wheels up even after dropping the clutch at 4000rpm (yes, im aware of the danage im cuasing, iv only done it twice, was trying to get it to work)
but on petrol, it will start with a standstill very easily,
is this a normal power drop for gas? its a 4.1ltr carby model, its had modifications done to the ignition coz its got a coil that iv never seen before, looks like i squarish black box thingy...

thanx

im not sure, to be honest, i dont know much about gas systems, i bought the car not too long ago...
but i can tell you there there are alot of additional hoses... and a big round thing in the corner, it links to the top of the carby where it sprays the gas in... it also has a hose conected to the top on the valve-cover oil cap... if i disconnect it then the car dies...

ill post pictures when i can...
