I agree- with what you'll blow in the cost for the gas- the $ would be wiser spent buying some fuel jugs and bringing regular pump gas in- we don't even race with race-track high octane let alone use it for track days...

Oh Ok, if you want to destroy a 900 item and cause the CEL go right ahead.

But doing that will bring nothing but headaches.

Oh and as for removing your stock cat from a car... I do believe its still illegal in a non testesting area.

I heard about Integra's having there check engine lights come on when the cat has been tampered with. I don't know how true that is but by doing that you run a risk of destroying your engine.

A friend of mine a GSR with no cat and he is having to rebuild his engine after about 40,000 miles from removing it.

Also are you going to heartland park, I'd be interested in watching or even running my R.

Dont' waste your money on the race gas.

Get a real straight pipe if you plan to run no cat. Gutting a cat doesn't improve your performance nearly as much as a straight pipe.

OK...race gas = pointless unless you are running compression that requires it...I'll get to the point...you aren't....don't use it.

Gut the cut, get a test pipe, destroy the environment, continue to be an idiot...
