Mixing leaded race fuel

[dannyf]

I keep getting less then stellar 93 and was wondering if I can mix a gallon or two of 110 leaded into a full tank. Car is catless with a bama tune so I'm really only worried about the o2 sensors.

the 02s should be the only issue, why not get unleaded 100+ to mix and not worry about it??

I can only find leaded and its at a station about 2 miles from my house. But for 6 bucks a gallon I'm thinking some torqo is a better bet

I would not use leaded race gas in my car. The OEM wideband sensors will fail, eventually.

Advance Auto gives a 1 year warranty on Bosh sensors

Just get some MS109 which is unleaded same octane really or shell URT (hard to find sometimes).

do not put leaded fuel in your car, will kill the factory widebands, I've seen them killed after bein in the car in as little as 10 minutes

Use torco

 

[Turbosixx]

Use torco

Yep, a cheap alternative.

 

[Deranged2013]

Use Torco or try Amsoil Dominator Octane Boost.

 

[grnenvy]

Yeah use Torco.

 

[dannyf]

thanks for the replies everyone.

Yep, a cheap alternative.

And then your spark plugs look like this:

But you don't have any detonation and you're 02 sensors still work.

Yeah get more octane and rust your engine at the same time sounds good to me;-)

I don't want to get into a pissing contest, but I was just given some information from a trustworthy source. Do with it what you will. I just want to share. Ford recommends C16 in the CJ's. They recommend replacing them every 50 passes. Their test car had over 100 passes on them and they still worked fine. So this is just track passes. I plan to keep my use of leaded fuel to the track, 5 gallons at a time and Torco for the street. I haven't tried my C12 tune, but I can't wait!

we tried turbo blue in the car at the track once for texting, the very first pass after adding it, it killed one of the 02's.

I personally would pass on it, or just use a good unleaded racing gas.

Btw... My widebands were priced at $56.76 from Toursely.

I do not have a gas station that sells high octane fuel besides the leaded fuel at the track. Where do you buy torqo?? Or any other additive?

If you really want 116 look into Fuse 116 its unleaded and 116 octane.
