Lead Supreme 130??

Just lookin over some octane boosters and came across this name. Anyone have any thoughts about it or have used it?? Any input on it would be nice. Thanks....




Lead Supreme 130
An Octane Booster that really works! It's that simple. It contains GENUINE TETRAETHYL LEAD (TEL) and other octane enhancing components.(1)Boosts octane (2)Eliminates engine knock (3)Protects and lubricates valves and valve seats. 1 Case /12- 32oz. bottles (FREE SHIPPING) $120.00
2 Case SPECIAL (FREE SHIPPING) $210.00

I'm no expert, but I think putting a leaded additive in your system will cause some serious issues with the emission controls. The benefits of the lead coating the valves would be off put by the distruction of the O2 sensors, cat, and other sensors in the system.

Although looking at your mod list it seems you have taken off most of the emission controls anyway.

Don't do it unless you have a cat-delete pipe and probably 5K miles on your vehicle. Fresh 02 sensors tend to go bad if they are exposed early to leaded gas or additive. If your interested in keeping your cat, try the Torco boosters, they work.

If it's an octane booster, most likely it's only going to get you like 94 octane on 93 fuel.

I'd say forget it and go to your local track and get some 100 unleaded.

Alright Webguy, where are you getting tolulene for $2 a gallon at?

Sherman Williams charges almost $8 per gallon, I know there are cheaper alternatives, but where?

I've heard people say to add a couple of ounces of marvels mystery oil when using 30% toluene. They said it helps lubricate everything. What do you guys think?
