Leaded 110 with unleaded 93 question..
I am supercharged and have a tune for 93 octane, after getting a bad tank of gas I started to think about adding 2-3 gallons of race fuel into the mixture to pump it up a bit. We only have 110 VP leaded fuel here and I'm just looking for peoples opinions on if it would be safe to use or not. I know the o2 sensors dont like leaded fuel but are there any other issues with mixing the two?

Leaded fuel will trash your plugs and O2s, but won't hurt anything other then that. Get unleaded race gas, and save yourself some trouble.

Back to main subject  Get a two-hundred gallon unleaded 110 gas and you will have it for over a year by adding two gallons with every fillup. I used to do that, and never had a knock problem.

It won't hurt a thing to mix a couple of gallons of leaded 110 in with every tank full. Your O2's and cats won't know you did it.
