Default SSAC WG with race gas
anyone use the ssac gates with race gas?
How will the valve stem stand up with leaded gas?

I believe Tial says not to use their typical 38mm gate with leaded fuel. I have no clue why, though.

I've heard of this too. It'd be good to know if it's anything to think about.

The lead oxide is corrosive and can cause valve failure etc.They offer another valve with a coating to prevent this corrosion.I would just run it and keep the boost cut hooked up in case.
