DO NOT RUN LEADED FUEL!! I learn this the hard way having to replace my sparkplugs. If you have 02 Sensors and Cats, it will destroy them. Also you need to have the right program!

I ran leaded fuel and I have no cats, but I have 02's. I lost 200hp the car ran horrible. Stick with high octane unleaded!

Hi, Lead kills the o2s and plugs, I know for sure! I use sunoco 104 unleaded Same specific gravity as pump fuel. Vp is thinner then pump and will run a bit richer on as tune..... That could save your motor if you are using stock fuel system.
Hope this helps, Tim

I use VP MS 109. Runs better than the MS 103 and cost a little more (motor octane is slightly higher). PM me your number and I can tell you who sells it for the cheapest price in OC. I buy it in 5 gallon cans and use the VP pump I purchased off there web site. Now I beat up on my friends LP640, 997TT and 650HP Gallardo.

Did you ever rerun Kevin's HPF M3 with your car running better?
