Default Propane injection

Dear Friends - I have some fun info for you. I have a 2006 MEGA Cummins w Edge Juice w/Attitude and a pressure box (WOW!). I went over to my brother's (whom we will call the skeptic-), and had him get in the driver's seat. My Attitude monitor has a load meter which tells how much from 0 to 100% of the load you are using. We headed out on the highway flat ground and I had him set the cruise at 65 mph. The load meter read 23% which is normal. I then had him flip on my switch for my homemade propane injection - Immediately it picked up 2miles an hour before the throttle backed off to the point that it settled on 4%!! My brother's foot was approx 1/2 inch off the throttle on the floor and when flipped on he felt the pedal hit his foot as it was backing off. It settled on 65 within 1-2 seconds. Needless to say he was thoroughly amazed - me too still. I took same truck on 2300 mile trip running lite and averaged 24.2 miles per gallon of diesel and used only 50 lbs propane. (approx $45 worth]. Less smoke too and more power on hills. I use it for the mileage but it does have a good kick in power. Also with either the propane or methanol we are adding a high octane fuel to the mix - diesel octane 15-25, propane octane 103, and methanol 115. These are added before the diesel is injected into the cylinder so resistance to knock is a good thing.

Mxtuner1..

How did you get your throttle to move with the cruise control?? My '06 has electronic cruise control so the throttle just sits at idle position when the cruise is engaged. I thought all '06's had electronic controls and the throttle was only a potentiometer with a spring. Do you have an after market cruise?
