Re: Race Fuel ? I run 100 octane and nothing else. I have heard that leaded fuel will mess up an O2 sensor, but have never seen it firsthand. You can get 110 unleaded, I think, but why? 100 works great, and you may not even need that high of an octane. Race gas is a waste of money unless you have some knock with lower octane fuel.

Re: Race Fuel ? Thanks for the replies.
I'll get some unleaded race fuel and add the NX OBDII fuel booster. It'll get diluted with a little 93 octane since I drive to and (hopefully) from the track.
Hoping for some 10's.......

Re: Race Fuel ? Hey Scotty
We usually run the 104. I'm about to order 275 gallons for personal use and the shop. I'm at home now and should be running soon <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Motor is supposed to be going in the car again this weekend. Too much octane won't hurt anything and you definitely don't want not enough.
Like many others have said the lead will destroy the 02's. If you've ever replaced them you know they are expensive too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
