ADDING PROPANE INJECTION TO THE CAT 3208 TURBO SP

[gregory O]

I rarely go over 65 mph in my V8PT. where I appreciate the power and use it is
in respect to the safety of other motorist while getting into the flow of
traffic. It feels like my bus is slow to come upt to speed in comparison to my
ten speed truck but starting out side by side the bus is quicker. shifting thru
8 of the ten gears just seems to keep you occupied and feels quick
