Question 100oct. Low lead??

Alright.. after my stage 3 install... I'm waiting on my custom exhaust to get here until i open it up good w/ the 100 oct. mode. I went around town and found 2 places that sell high octane gas.
1. Has 108 and 112 oct. gas from Sunoco. Altho, I'd hafta buy cases for them to put gas in I also don't know if its safe.
2. Has 100oct. Low lead... from the Airport. I am leaning towards this place since it is 100oct. but I wasn't sure if low lead was going to be safe or not. Im a noob when it comes to this kinda stuff so any advice would be great. Thanks

If you have a cat, DO NOT use even low lead gas. Unleaded or nothing if you still have a cat. However if you do not have a cat, use what ever. Just keep in mind, you'll probably be replacing your O2 sensor in 500-1000 miles on the leaded stuff.

haha, i just figured i'd post my question up since i tryed searching and there isn't any info on this... I was basically worried about putting leaded gas in a newer car, but i guess the only reason is because of the exhaust (o2 and cat) but if i don't have either.... i gues i'll be alright
