Has anyone looked at CNG as a fuel alternative for the brick? I found a conversion kit for $1250 that handles everything but the tank ($2200) but the upside for the areas where this stuff is sold seems solid. CNG appears to have an octane rating of 130 which would allow an 11.5:1+ compression ratio which would mean more HP. Prices range from $.65/gallon in Utah to $1.25/gallon in South Carolina. Just thinking out loud for now, but I am going to do something diffeent with the 944 being the test platform.

Regards,
