Default Misfire and running terrible

Im running 11.8:1 comp in my 408 stroker and i run it on 93 oct pump gas from sunoco. well yesterday i filled my car up with 110 oct fuel and it is running like sh*t. Its misfiring when i ease into the gas but not all the time it does that for about 5 min then will run fine for about 1 min. I think it might be water in the gas? any ideas? it also threw a lean code.

might wanna go back to the 93 oct then

you can pump out all of the 110 oct fuel out by jumping the fuel pump relay... there's some threads/tutorials on here that go into further detail.

Yep, like Waterbug said........ smoked the 02's on the leaded fuel. They don't like that stuff too much.

If that is the case, just pull the fuel line off the rail and put a hose on it into a container that will hold the volume of fuel you are dumping. Then just turn the key on. Mine continuously dumped fuel with the line off and key on since it wasn't building pressure. Should empty the tank pretty quick, shoots out very fast!
