I knew I wasn't losing it...good stuff.
i get all that and you are right, what is the limit for using lead gas in a stock motor designed for unleaded? even if there is oxygen in the process, do you try just for shits and giggles and hope everything is cool?? then you would need the 104 just to burn off all the left over shit anyways
