Lead deposits
Do you folks running leaded fuel notice deposits in your Intake Ports and Combustion Chambers?

I have been running Sunoco 110 Leaded fuel exclusively and the car sees as much sitting in traffic as anything with occasional blasts down the track.

Re: Lead deposits
Why are you running leaded fuel on street car. Please clarify? Maybe there are alternatives?

468 Big Block Olds with 11.59cr , 215 cranking. I can drive on 93 if I baby it. I’m not very good at that. Plus I occasionally turn on the Nitrous for additional fun.

Re: Lead deposits
Have you done a dynamic compression calculation? How much nitrous do you hit it with?

Re: Lead deposits
I use leaded racing fuel in my race bikes....What left over gets used in my newer street bikes, usually blended with non ethanol pump gas...The VP fuel gives off a distinctive odor from the exhaust and colors the pipe interiors a nice light gray...The bikes get about 40-45 mpg riding in a sporting manner...I would hate to pay for leaded fuel in a high HP car...

$7.99 a gallon does get a bit pricey. I only spray 150hp when I do.
