Tim, Before the days of fuel injection, it was quite common to convert gas engines to run propane. These would be "dual fuel", you could switch back and forth between propane and gasoline. However, I never heard of anyone getting more power on propane. Propane has less energy per gallon than gasoline. The main motivation has always been to save money. Even allowing for the reduced horsepower, it can be cheaper to run propane than gasoline. My dad converted his fleet of pickups to propane back in the 70's. They were cheaper to operate, but the propane was a lot of aggravation (he had a hard time getting propane that didn't have a lot of oil and crap in it). The converted pickups definitely put out less power on propane.
