Default Running Leaded gas

Hey guys,

What is the easiest way to run leaded gas. I need to run 116. I have seen a few ideas. They have been to run in open loopwith no o2's. Or buy Bosch Lead tolerant O2s. I basically live in a a area where the climate is the same all year. I like the idea of using a wideband for tuning and then forget about the o2's. Any comments would really help. Also can we run in closed loop fulltime(open loop-I get them confused,whatever loop that the com does not read o2's. And can closed loop operation be tuned.

Thanks
Randy

Yes. VP, as well as otheres, makes a fuel that is for fuel injected use with O2 sensors. It's not 116 octane but unless you are running 14:1 compression at sea level, you will not need 116 octane. More octane than you need will lose power. The fuel I'm referring to is rated around 105 octane. I can't remember exactly. It would support an easy 12:1 compression ratio.

why are you going with such a high compression motor? that is way way high. HP can be made without that high compression

I'd look into an open loop tune or maybe try those Denso 02's but they might not last real long.
