Whatever you do use unleaded gas. Dont use the leaded stuff, it will harm your o2 and cat.
I will most likely be running 105 unleaded.

Use anything unleaded. You can run C-12 from VP should be around $5-6 a gallon.

Last event at Moroso, I just ran some leaded C10 (about 2 gallons) for my 12psi passes, worked like a charm

How long does it take for leaded gas to tear up the O2 sensor? Say if you mix in a gallon to 2 gallons of 93? Does it tear up anything besides O2 and the cat?

The stock cat gets clogged automatically after 100+ octane. You car run 100 but after that, you better get a test pipe, etc.
