I really need to run c16 vp race fuel in my setup and o2 sensors are too expensive to go through. Anyone heard of lead resistant o2 sensors that will live through race gas?

In the July '04 issue of GM HIGH TECH they did a test on a Denso 02 that was claimed to do just that.

havent tried one but held one of those denso sensors in my hand today and the distributor claimed they will last a while with leaded fuel, be pretty cool if they work..

I've been running the denso 02 on leaded fuel for a while now. The leaded fuel will take its toll but definately lasts longer than the other brands. They are lead resistant, not lead proof, but beats buying 02s every time you go to the track.
