If you plan on tuning it, your car will love it. If not then there is really no point

It would be more effective to drink it rather than just dumping it into your car's gas tank.

Yes it is. The highest unleaded I have ever seen is 104 sunoco. And yes the 110 leaded will wreck cats if you have them and o2 sensors also.

Its a no if you have cats, I also say no to it just because. I was semi tuned for it and it made my airfuels go crazy, the O2 sensors hate it. VP race fuels has a 109 unleaded.

I will have to check into the vp109 I may be able to get it in 5 gallon can here? No pump though only 100,104 unleaded and 110 leaded here that I have been able to find.

It won't do anything if you're not tuned and it is effing expensive.

When I was running the stock turbo and upgraded IC, we saw 0 HP gain running 110 octane, so I just stuck with 93. If you run the stock IC, I'd consider 100 unleaded for the drag strip.

I was able to run a lil more timing at the same AFR running 108 unleaded. Nothing tooo crazy tho.

And leaded is a no no for cars with O2 sensors.
