My girlfriend and I are taking a look at the Dynasty Electric Car Corporation’s new electric truck. We will use it on our property and neighborhood until it is acceptable for more access on other roads.

Hi Dale,
I’m not aware of any way to easily boost the BTU content of propane. I think it’s pretty constant @ about 84,000 BTU/gal, but you might be able to tweak the ignition timing to get a little more performance. You could also investigate something along the lines of NOS to pump up the horsepower too. Just a couple thoughts.
