pre-73 is without cats... I do believe there is a CAM II that is unleaded, but you would need a car that has a H/O engine and that calls for premium and then use it with a 92/93 unleaded as it would probably burn out your valves at full stregnth

Another vote for Chevron Techron after each oil change.
I second the Lucas products:Originally Posted by Poorboy

One thing to keep in mind guys, the higher the octane, the SLOWER the gas burns. That`s why high compression engines use premium-to prevent early ignition (detonation)
I usually use Chevron Techron or Red line. I also use them after every oil change.

Has anyone used any of the "OMG!! My car`s like new!!" stuff advertised on tv, like Slick 50, Duralube, ProLong etc.?
Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult!
UPDATE: I couldn`t find the Chevron or Red Line or Lucas stuff, so I went with some STP FI/Line cleaner stuff. Just poured it into the gas tank and then had it filled (nearly filled).
I`ll check out some of the premium auto stores for those other products you guys mentioned. Thanks a bunch, guys.
BTW...I saw "Octane Boosters" which were made by STP, something with "104" on it, and they all said OK for most engines, use 1 bottle per full gas tank, etc.
Do these things do anything if you don`t have engine ping or is it just another waste? Can a regular car utilize these things -- alot different adding these 12-16 ounce products to 12-20 gallons of gas than filling up a gas tank with 106+ octane stuff, right?

I used the STP cleaner. I liked it, but it doesn`t give me that boost anymore.
What do those Octane boosters do for a regular car? Can they be used? Since I`m not pinging and since I don`t have a racing engine, I guess they`re useless, right ?

The Chevron can be purchased Wally world and the Red Line and Lucas you can find at Advanced Auto or Pep Boys if you have them their.I couldn`t find the Chevron or Red Line or Lucas stuff, so I went with some STP FI/Line cleaner stuff.
Another vote for Techtron.
You may want to also change your fuel filter as well.
Thats whats going to trap the larger particles.
Your injectors could be clear, but you be could starving the fuel supply.
Just my $.02

P.S.
Be carefull running Octane boost it unless your car is designed for it.
You can do alot of damage to your heads (friend destroyed his running octance boost and NOS in his 5.0, heads weren`t set up to handle the heat)
