If you are not running a cat, then you might be able to get away with running 110(leaded) occasionally before your O2 sensor craps out on you.

Sunoco Five Star Service Center - more info »
6621 Indian River Rd, Virginia Beach, VA
(757) 523-6656

That is about the only one I know of..

Other than that, turn the boost down and pull a few degrees of timing out..

Not that you asked about the octane or lead hurting your car but here goes:

The octane number being higher will get you BETTER performance. You get a more complete burn of the fuel in the cylinder due to the higher octane rating.

The leaded/unleaded debate is bullshyt. The unleaded gas will pound the piss out of your valve seats in an older car that requires leaded fuel.

The use of leaded fuel in an unleaded "only" engine will not damage the seats.

I have run 110 in a 3cylinder for 3 years now and have not had any issues yet.

Also, timing is definitely key in the use of any type of fuel. And don't forget that the higher the compression ratio, the higher octane you would want to use anyways.

And yes, the leaded stuff will screw up your O2 sensor in the long run.

I am with QwanSanchez about where to get the Cam2 in Hampton.

Cam2 is the same thing as Sunoco racing fuels.

http://www.bazellracefuels.com/racingfuels.htm

Things to pay attention to are:

Specific gravity. If it is lower, then you will need to add fuel throughout the RPM range. The 100 octane sunoco is .764 specific gravity. So if you go any higher in octane, chances are you will be down in the .740 or below. That will require some additional fuel. The 100 octane has a specific gravity very close to normal pump fuel. I have never seen a change in AFR.

MON. I pay attention to this number over all the other octane ratings. This number is created based off of actual lab testing with pressure and heat. The other forms are either chemical compound rating or based off of theory.

As mentioned, timing will definitely play a huge factor in what fuel you run. IMO, if you are running a boosted car, if you aren't running 100 octane, run C16. It really has been proven time and time as the best fuel for turbocharged cars.. It makes more power than pretty much any other fuel in boosted applications.

Do you recall if they have 100 or 104 octane? I have software for 104 and would like to try it one of these days. The sunoco down on indian river only has 100 unleaded. thanks
