Default Race fuel??

Can you run CAM2 in a LS motor?
Or is it bad for the O2 sensors and the fuel injection??

Just curious..

CAM2 just means “Sunoco race fuel” including leaded and unleaded varieties. Leaded gasoline will destroy catalytic converters. If your engine runs well on 91 or 93 octane unleaded then there is no benefit to running higher octane.

my understanding is if your car isn't tuned for higher octane then it would most likely hinder performance not help it.
