Ok, I'm running high compression and N20. The only place I can get anything better then 93 octane is the airport but it has lead in the gas. I have no cat so I dont have to worry about that getting cloged. But I hear that lead gas will destroy a O2 sensor for the 240, anyone ran lead gas ? Just wondering if it will mess it up.

i guess its still leaded but it might help your cause...

by the way who at the airport said its 110? thats not one of the four normal fuels you can get at an airport

Yeah, I'm not really sure what the octane number was I cant remember. Sometimes they have race gas at the tracks with no lead but not always.compressions around 11:1, I can use the n20 if I retard the timing, but I'd rather advance it a little and run better gas to get the extra power.

Somewhere around here there is an article on Touline... a special fuel you can add you your gas in the righ ratios to get gas with high enough octane rating to do just about anything... including 50+ lbs of boost.

It should be 100LL, 100 octane low lead. Almost all airports run that in thier gas powered vehicles also. My local airport, which I spend alot of time at, runs 100LL in all thier vehicles and they are all state insected and emmisions tested vehicles. I am not sure how they pass emissions though. But thier vehicles run fine!
