104 "low lead" wise or unwise to use.....

My set is a Proto 650. 1.15 pump gas
1.35 race gas

I have access to 100 unleaded 20 minutes away.
I have access to 104 "low lead" 5 minutes away.

my questions are.... is Sunoco 100 good enough for 1.35 bar (stock internals) 5 bar regulator.

and.... is 104 low lead usable... or would it be bad for the plugs.
I have no cats.

thanks.

you should be able to get 104 in unleaded no prob. 1.35 is fine w/ 104 but 100 is pushing it.

Hey . The 104 low lead is aviation fuel. It is not the same. The specific gravity is different. I ran some 2stroke motors on it but they were tune to run it. I like to save time but if you real want to save the time buy 55 gal. drum with a pump! the price of a rebuild is far more the running the right gas.

Lol....... That's why I asked.
The 104 is even further away than the 100. I will wait until I have the 104 for my high boost.
I haven't ran it yet.
1.15 should be mellow on 93 though, right?

Thanks again.

K24/18G car ?

what is done to fuel system ?

You run into a fine and scary line when you buy pump fuel from a station
and start pushing the boost. Unfortunately pump fuel is not very consistent
(due to mixing of various fuels in the tankers, etc., etc.). I personally
rarely run pump, but even with full fuel system, I do not exceed 1.0 bar.

Good luck!

Woodster...

I sold/gave away the M5. It is now in the Los Angeles area.

Im going to take the Porsche to the drag strip soon.... what should i expect for trap speed on the 1.1 and the 1.3 tunes?? I also want to run the .9 bar (controller off) to see what that runs too.

the set up is awd 19 inch wheels.. GT3 seats... close to straight pipes. No rear seats.. but has a cage. Its got to be a bit lighter than a stock car.

thanks.
