Leaded race fuel

Planning on running 110 leaded race fuel and tune for this season.i can then also up my psi on my S/C. Anyone know of or have any issues running a tune to delete front o2's and plug them with bungs to illeviate the loss of a good sensor on track days. I'm not too worried about my high flow cats.

Don't run leaded, just run MS109 or VP101.

Leaded will kill your HF Cats, you need a speed density tune to run without the 02's in open loop.

Occational use of leaded race fuel is fine. Just don't run it alot and you be fine. SC cars dont have cats that last a long time anyway.

Why not pick up unleaded race gas as already suggested? Leaded gas is rough on 02 sensors.

Oh ya. Was also talking with my tuner. Mainly cause I was gifted with a "few" gallons of fresh 110 . Will be investing in the MS109 next or the 260GT PLUS. Was just wondering if anyone has run it that way. . Thank yall again for all the input .

Hmmmm...............
I got over 80k on mine with no issues, at 10.5 lbs of boost, cammed, heads, and more. Its all in the Tune. Tune it right and they will live. I've built over 50 cars with high flows that are boosted over the last 4 years and all have the high flow cats I installed during there builds.
If your making over 800 h.p. then the H/F cats wont live long, but a good quality, metal core cat will live with a good tune.
