I reckon you could build a well tuned example, theoretically it's just a question of getting the injectors/pump right and getting it properly mapped (probably using an aftermarket ecu)

LPG has a lower calorific value than petrol (so make less power per ml) but has a higher octane rating so you should be able to run more boost/ignition advance to make up for the lower power.

Don't bother with an off the shelf job though.
