Leaded fuel will foul your O2s in a HURRY. Also, there is absolutely no need to run anything besides 93 in your car. You'll waste money and go slower.

if you foul your O2's you will start running rich which will in turn cause you to go slower. i agree with BriancWS6 on this. but where i disagree is that even unleded 110 or whatever will not do any good in a stock motor. im going from experience, i picked up 2 tenths and 2 MPH at the track on ~ a 90* day. on a cooler evening before i ran a 13.3 @ 109.3 and when i went to the track with unleded 110 in it on ~90* day i ran a 13.1 @ 110.70. this was on the stock LS1 intake and bald 245's on 16's.
