Default leaded cam 2 fuel

I have 2 gas stations near me that sell race fuel, one is 101 octane, I'm not sure if it is leaded or not, and the other sells 111 octane that is leaded (according to what I read on the pump... my question is , is it safe to use the higher octane leaded fuel??

safe to use, if you don't mine buying a O2 sensor every week.

you can turn the boost up a few lbs using the 111 octane providing your car is tuned for that.

thanks for the info, I actually spoke to someone local who said basically the same thing, it can also damage the catylitic converter as well, (mine is hollow anyway) I basically plan on running my tank down to empty, then getting like 2 gallons or so for the track, other than that I run 94....

say goodbye to a $150 O2 sensor.

And it WILL!
