Woah Don't use Leaded Gasoline It Screws up your Injectors, and Valves, And Pison Walls. Leaded Gasoline Also Destroys Catalytic Converters. Also Be careful, alot of the Octane Boost things are Leading Agents that are for OFF ROAD USE ONLY, well when you see those words on a product you about to put in your tank, Don't Do it. Leaded Fuels Realy make the inners of you motor funky and clogged and isn't good. Race Gas I belive is unleaded. Soo I think its ok, but it isn't good to Daily Drive on Leaded gasoline.

+1. Leaded gasoling contains, obviously, LEAD!!! If the car is not meant to use leaded dont do it. It will eventually screw up your engine even with a mix and it may have already done some damage.

I have heard that it is ok to run leaded gas every once but I wouldn't do it. Guru is ryt, over time it will mess up your injectors, valves and also you cat. Although my car is tuned on race gas and I just run 100 percent of the highest unleaded race gas that I can get my hands on. I run MS109 most of the time and I boost to about 25.5 peak on stock turbo.

When I drive my car on pump gas (93 oct) I just turn the boost down to about 14 - 16 pounds and try not to beat on it at all.

I wouldn't worry about it if its a once in awhile thing, only if you did it all the time. I personally mix 104 unleaded into my 93 and raise the boost 25psi whenever I got money to burn lol.

I know that, I was just stating of what I personally run sometimes. If I was a baller, I would run 104 unleaded daily!

Are you sure its leaded? We have 110 Unleaded around here. If it is leaded definitely dont use it all the time.

Wish i could get 110 unleaded out of the pump around here. Id defiently put a few gallons in for the weekend! All we have here is a phillips 66 that sells 104 leaded... Friend used it in his SR20 240 a while ago and hes still fine, but he'll never do it again. It made his car spike big time and hes running a Blitz SBC-iD.

I thought I already answered this question for you in great detail. That's how you know about the white-coated exhaust, right...because I told you? I told you to try to use the highest unleaded octane there is instead of messing with leaded 110.

However, I don't know why these guys are freaking out about leaded gas. Yeah, it kills the cat, but he has no cat. The stuff about killing the engine and injectors is overkill. I've used leaded gas many, MANY times for racing and will continue to do so well into the future. When given the choice, I take 104, but most times leaded is the only option.

NI, I've never heard of nor seen 110 unleaded. Are you sure it's unleaded? I had always thought the highest possible unleaded octane was VP109.

Tripper, using race gas does not randomly make an boost controller spike.
