Leaded fuel will clog up your cat real quick. Do you even have aneed for it? Boosted? advanced timing? Nitrous?

I thought leaded fuel was illegal to sell at the pump.

I ran GT100 from Sunoco a few weeks ago. It cleared up my bad knock sensor while it was in the tank Other than that, the car just felt smoother and quieter. No power gains worth noting .. however, if you running boost or nitrous, it definately helps!! Usullally, the higher the octane, the more boost or happy gas you can theoreticly use.
