Default A few Q's about running C-16 and its effect on my LC-1?

I would only be injecting the C-16 on the nitrous and I hear that a lot of people have done this without F!@#ing up there NB O2's. But the question is, is there any problems running C-16 on my LC-1 WB? I would like to know what kind of symptoms of running a leaded fuel like C-16 has on my wide band. Does the accuracy change? Or does it just go out? Is there anything to be concerned about? BTW, I have my LC-1 running all the time. Thanks in advance.

so long as C16 isn't leaded (don't have a boosted or high compression car heh.. so haven't spent much time learning about the various fuel types) it shouldn't have an effect on the sensor... (also so long as you're not going way way rich)

Leaded fuels shorten the life of any O2 sensor. I used to know of a link that told you how many miles of life to expect from them depending on fuel composition.
Maybe somebody else has seen it. I remember seeing something about a 50k mile lifespan being turned into a 10-20k miles.

AFR ratio will be fine.
