run a lot of timing when you use it...otherwise there's no point. you might destroy the o2 sensors but otherwise it'll be fine. you might want to go to the track and see if anyone wants to buy if for a bit of a discount

It will hurt the O2's and maybe the cats, due to the lead. Your better off selling it.

Well guys I was wondering is it safe to run 110 octane race gas in a stock 1989 GT? Long story short i have a 55 gallon drum of race gas left in the garage because i hurt the motor in my race car, and it is down for the year. I hate to waste all the gas, so i was wondering if i could just put it in the 5.0 and put it to good use?
Is this the car w/ the 315's on an 8" rim that runs 10's??

i have 315s on a 8 inch rim, they handle 10 second passes with no problems.

Shyt yeah you can use it ......... its still unleaded right?

run your 110 octane and bump the base timing WAY up. you pick up 3-4 hp per degree of timing.

bet you can pick up an extra 20+ hp,

JUST REMEMBER TO TURN TIMING BACK DOWN IF YOU PUT PUMP GAS IN!!!!!!!
