100 ll should be ok. Its just like other reace/leaded gas but its 100 octane.
Also like any other leaded gas it will coat your O2 and cat over time.

There has been many discussions on AEM about using aviation fuels.. I believe that the reason most people don't try it, because aviation fuel has some anti-freezing agents in it that may harm something. I have heard of people using it and run it. As for long term use??? No idea?

we have used it multiple times in my buddies 9, and it works very well.

I was able to get away with 28-29 psi and some additional timing. As stated it reacts just like race fuel.

Bringing this thread back...

I have been putting 100LL (low lead) gas on my 240sx for about a month now. I have been to able push 12psi on the stock KA with a 57trim without incident...it can probably take more. Last time I filled up a guy told me that my O2 sensor will need to be replaced soon if I didn't want my motor to pop. How long does it take for this fuel to coat your O2 sensor? I have not cats, so that's not an issue. It just freaked me out when he said that...I mean at $4.34 a gallon, it's not bad. What effects would 110 lead gas have on the motor?...that costs $5.59 a gallon.

Thanks.

Never mind...I just read this thread and will stop running a full tank of the 100LL gas in my car, I will also replace the plugs and O2 sensor just to be safe.
