Default leaded turbo blue race gas?

i have a jdm b16 in my 93 hatch.... it has some work done to it...i thought about running a few gallons of race gas along with a tank of 93 octane....would the lead in this gas ---- up sensors?.....would it even be worth running the race gas?....just thought id ask....i tried to search but nothing happened when i clicked search...just curious but what about if i ran just pure turbo blue through it?....

No turbo? No point. You better have a 13:1 or higher comp B16 (depending on cams) to warrant running race gas.

Lead will clog your cat and ---- up your o2 sensor. Running it every now and again is ok. I ran leaded gas everytime I went to the track and nothing bad happened.


And also if your running Race gas on a basically stock motor than your just pissing money away and probably making less power than running straight 93.
