Default Any comments on running some race fuel?

I was wondering if anyone has used race gas in there ls1. I heard it can burn up cats. So, I was thinking about mixing a little 114 octane with some 92 pump gas. Please let me know if you have any input. THanks guys.

You would be better off just running straight 104 unleaded.The leaded gases will leave a coating on your o2 sims.

This is the stuff you want, or go with the GT Unleaded Plus, which is 104 octane. Either one is ideal for our cars. I'm picking up a 55 gallon drum of it next week. 114 octane is wayyyy to much for our cars.
