Long term effect of race fuel

Ive been wondering this for a while now. Ive been driving my car for 2 years now(9k) miles using 109oct UNLEADED fuel. although the car is tuned for 100 plus, will there be any long term effect besides o2 sensors going bad?

Does the higher oct create more carbon build up on the pistons,fuel injectors,ect

thanks in advance

i dont think there will be extra carbon build up as long as you beat on it some to burn it

you should make about the same power as ya would running 109 for a lot less money....

the kit itself starts at 265 and 130 for the fail safe... snow performance

a tank of methanol will last at least a couple fills at the gas staion if your jamming on the gas 24/7

25-30$ for a 5 gallon jug and ya dilute it 50/50... depending how much driving you do... a gallon lasts my friend about a month and he's very aggresive and drives about 300-350 a week

cheers!
