Leaded gas will in fact mess up factory 02 sensors.

I don't have factory 02 sensors anymore.

In addition, it will burn through your cats rather quickly.

pump gas == 93 for 700rwhp..you should be fine

race gas 100-104...should be good for your 900-950

assuming you are running a safe high end timing 16-20

Max it out..??? No....... To see your 900rwhp goal ...... maybe..... with that power level you will have problems tuning and controling that much HP..... Its going to be fun for you driving that car and tuning it all the time on a stock PCM....... Good luck.

900rwhp with the stock pcm and 75lb injectors sounds aggressive. They are 75 @ what psi?

ya, but i dont surf them really at all, just mostly ls1tech.com and ls2.com

i heard about your car before, however i did not know specifically it was you (with that user name).

did you spin a bearing in your motor before? i think i recall something about it.

i spun a bearing in my heads/cam car, so i decided to upgrade.

psj, in regards to boost, i dont know how many lbs ill be running. i just know that that turbo should be good for 1200-1300 rwhp with larger injectors and upgraded computer from what allan said.

my goals for race gas are over 850 rwhp, but i dont know what those injectors limit me to.
