C16 for FI cars at the track?
So far, the NTK wideband (UEGO) seems to be less susceptible to lead poisoning than the narrowband sensors, and I've heard of similar results with the Bosch UEGO. Even the NTK rep told me I could do short runs (like some 1/4-1/2 mile racing) of leaded gas without permanently fouling the sensor. I know with my old 3-wire setup, I needed a new O2 sensor after even 1 tank of leaded gas. If I didn't change it, I started getting unpredictable readings and weird surges and misses when driving.
In my opinion, widebands are more lead tolerant. Regular O2 sensors need to stick to unleaded, unless you plan for regular sensor changes.
