I am curious what u guys think..

I was wanting to dump maybe 3-4 gallons of 110 leaded race gas in my tank (I currenlty have roughly 1/4 tank..

again my stats are:
87 5.0 5spd
summit H pipes and summit duel exhaust with imco mufflers (no converters)
K&N drop in filter
ford racing 9mm wires
summit 40k volt coil
ngk G-power plugs
still running both oxygen sensors

just curious what u guys think.. should I run a can of NOS octane booster only or would it be ok for me to put 3-4 gallon of 110 race gas in my tank..

what will be the pros and cons of doing so?

I heard if I have no cats (which I dont) that I will be ok, but I have also heard that if u have o2's u can burn them out also

if anything it would kill ur performance

car is designed to run 87, so run 87.

oh ya leaded gas would kill ur o2 sensors and make ur comp start throwing codes

dont uses leaded gas in unleaded systems, you ***** shyt up. not worth it.

If you're going to do it, bump your timing to 18-19* and rip on it.

run the fuel your car needs... uping the octane DOES NOTHING FOR PERFORMANCE.... just costs you $$$ that you could send to me...

rwdguy86

plan on buying new o2 sensors bc leaded fuel ruins them

if the car is made to run on 87 and you bump up the timing to 14* shoud you run 93 octane even though the car is made to run on 87? (sorry to hijack the thread)

well when i said designed, i meant all factory settings.

people have bumped up their timing without needing higher octane but if u advanced ur timing and u hear pinging, u need to run higher octane.

probably not... [:-]
