Guys running Q16
Are you guys that run the Q16 leaded race fuel replacing O2 sensors all the time? Thinking about a tune for this but don't really want to be replacing 4 O2 sensors after every trip to the track, plus a 5th for my wideband
. Looking at MS109 unleaded as an alternative. Can anybody chime in on the Q16 and how quickly it wrecks the 02's, I don't have cat's so that is not a problem. Also if anybody has run both fuels and can give a performance comparison between the two.

What is altered in the tune when they tune for Q16? I assume leaning out AFR's a bit at WOT and advancing time due to the higher octane and less chance of detonation/preignition? The same could be done with the MS109 correct? I ran the vp101 last time at the track and didn't notice any difference but tune was still the same. I Did have a gallon or two of 93 in the tank at the time and put a gallon of the VP101 in. Are you guys running the car completely empty of 93oct before putting the Q16 in and changing tunes?
