Yes, I'm fortunate in that we don't test emissions here in Alberta, and so I don't have a cat. The O2 is supposed to get clogged, but my SDS doesn't need it, so it's not too much of a worry. The SDS can use O2 feedback, but I never use it. I may experiment with it later to aid in idle economy. At any rate, the EFI guru who's helped me tune says that the three wire O2 sensors do okay with leaded, they burn off the gunk. As I said, not a huge concern for me, when I have all of my emissions gear removed... :) Seriously though, C$2.08/L of race gas, ie. 3 to 4 times what 91 (premium!) / what you pay in Europe for gas/petrol, does not make running 111 everyday a viable option. I may end up using up the little I have on a street legal night at the strip, just to see what it'll do. Methanol injection SHOULD allow me to run the race gas timing and fuel curves on 91 octane though.
