104 unleaded, but only because I have the stock cat still. When I throw in a test pipe, I'll run the highest leaded octane of whatever brand is available at whatever track I'm at. Leaded gas is bad for the O2 sensors, but it's not a big deal if you don't do it on a regular basis.

yeah, its not going to kill the o2 sensors when you run it for 10 runs a month down the track or whatever.

but, if you are going to run something on a daily basis, i woud suggest 104 unleaded

min of 110 leaded octane (unforchantly we only have sunco..) so I normaly stick 112 to be on the safe side. (I have a map on my xede for both 93 and 110 or higher)

not at all.. If your not running it all the time.. The major prob with race gas is eatting cats. If you have a test pipe then your good to go. Useing leaded fuel would be okay for raceing but dont keep it in the tank all the time as that will wear away your o2 if it doesnt have time to clear itself out when useing normal unleaded fuel.
