No, it wont damage the motor. Just do your best to stay out of boost.

Goto autozone and buy a can of NOS race oct booster. Then you shouldn't have to worry bout it so much.

If I were you i'd just cruise with no boost. If you can't do that for a whole tank, then blend in some toulene or race gas. Either way, I wouldn't put my foot in it until all that gas was out of there. |

Just add a couple gallons of race fuel. Even if it's leaded, one time won't hurt!

Put a couple gallons of 100oct in your tank and all will be good. Toulene is a waste of money at $10 per gallon. Not to mention it doesn't do ****!
