Tetraethyl Lead -- Progressive Injection
Tetraethyl Lead -- Progressive Injection Hi All...
I've been doing some research on Octane Boosters and avoiding ping with Nitrous Boost. Also... negative affects of Premium Unleaded Fuels (Ethyl and Methyl Alcohols) on fuel tanks, lines, seals, etc... on older "pre-unleaded" cars... PLEASE DON'T SMACK ME AROUND... this involves MOST ANY CAR.
Many say that adding Toluene or Xylene is the way to go and a few say that Direct Progressive Injection of either of these reaps the greatest rewards regarding parts safety and long-term economy. Others say use Tetraethyl Lead added to the fuel tank because it's the very best octane booster, being the safest for your car and it's the cheapest... ~28 cents per ounce when bought direct and in quantity. The latter boosts octane ~5.5 points when mixed 2 oz/gal. That's only $5.60 per 10 galons.
What about Progressive Direct Injection of Tetraethyl Lead? Wouldn't that be the unltimate? High Octane Boost and CHEAP!!
BTW, I'm a Gen1 guy... no $$$ for a LS1 swap

Where can you get Tetraethyl Lead for $.28 per oz?
FYI - The most benefit comes from using 4.25 oz per gallon, I remember reading that when I was researching why lead was used in gasoline (Back in college - 22 years ago!).
BTW - Tetraethyl Lead is what makes Leaded gas "leaded", and Yes, it'll destroy any and all O2 sensors and Cats it contacts, so use it with caution.

Here..... [QUOTE=great421] Just click here... Tetraethyl Lead
You must buy two cases to get the low price.
IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN A GROUP BUY? MAYBE WE CAN GET AN EVEN BETTER PRICE? BUT REMEMBER NO O2 SENSORS OR CATS ALLOWED... THAT IS UNLESS OCCASIONAL INJECTION IS SAFE... DOES ANYONE KNOW???
