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.

Re: SSAC WG with race gas

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.
