Fortunately for me, I have 110 octane (leaded) at the pump about 2 miles
from my house.

P1SC blown. The only dyno run I was able to do was 375@ 5600rpm. It saw 6.5psi at that point. It was easily a 430rwhp car. PHP intake spacer so the power curve was ideal. stock midpipe with SLP LM1s with stock tailpipes. Aside from the Apillar, catback sound, and whistle at idle, you would have thought it was a stock lowered mach.
#8 piston ring fried no thanks to the lame *** that rebuilt the shortblock and 'so called' tuned it. I could have had a built shortblock, retuned with more PSI for $4500, but it was my only car and I have four kids......so.....I dumped it and got something thing that I needed for 5 people and commute to work. I'll get another mach....it'll be a couple of years most likely, but I'll have my blown mach some day again.
holy ****....21*....and only 93 octane on 19psi? that's insane....and you never had a cooling mod. WTH do you do to your cars man? That's freaking N/A timing right there...well, almost.

It's got a full time race gas tune. 
It's all about the tune.

NOt only that, the rear O2s can be turned off via tuner (most tuners anywho) and the fronts are for closed loop. He could have those turned off and running open loop 100% of the time (which I NEVER would suggest, but that's me) or he could have multiple tunes and only install the 'race gas' tune when he has it in the tank. THat 'minimal' amount of time running that higher octane stuff won't do any more damage than what normal driving would given how lean you are until you are in open loop. Closed loop running is generally 14.5 A/F.

Forgot about that. Well, the world may never know...tootsie pop.
Seriously though, there's a few things that would make the O2's not a big deal...like the amount of power and fun is worth changing them once every 2 months if needed. LOL

I have been running that 103 octane Streetblaze from VP when I race. Unleaded and no worries about those O2 sesors.
