Lead will damage the CATS. andO2 why not just run the 104 no lead gas.

What sense would that make, dude? You running a relatively stock 2V with a 100 shot.110 octane will not do you much good over the 93. You will be pissing your money away. And you may just burn a hole through those "Hyperthemetic" pistons....

unless you have high compression or forced induction race gas is a waste and your car wont utilize it. You must understand that higher octane is MORE difficult to burn.

RE: 110 octane

Last time I checked Nitrous creates pretty high compression. And it is a form of FI, so I dont really see why you guys are acting like this guy doesnt know what he's talking about.

Sounds like a good idea man. Put in whatever you can get in UNLEADED, when you are gonna spray. It wont do anything on motor tho.

And what do you think he is going to gain by doing this? If he's not going to tune it for the higher octane or at least bump the timing, what is the point?

Piece of mind while spraying the nitrous! Less chance of detonation with the higher octane...

But what is his compression stock? 9:1? So the ONLY time it MIGHT be benficial is when hes on the spray. But during normal driving, it might actually make his car slower.

I use one gallon of 110 leaded (no 104 or 106 here to buy) for five gallons of 93 when I go to the track. You can bump your timing a little and the smell is the best. No real performance gain but it gives you a little insurance.
