Default Race fuel with Flash-pro

We have a 2008 and just bought a flashpro want to tune on Leaded Race Fuel
We need a wideband uego to replace the O2 sensor (Correct?). Can it be done with Flash Pro..


Thanks all

You don't need to replace the O2 sensor of an '06+ AP2, since the stock O2 is a wideband. However, you will need to replace the catalytic converter if you want to run leaded gas. Aside from that, the FlashPro is a great choice for tuning with whatever type of gas you want to use.

Ok Cool I thought that the race fuel ruined stock O2 sensors I guess Honda did it right - we currently run a headerback exhaust so no cat..

Thanks

Well, I have to admit that I don't really know if there is some issue with stock O2 sensors and leaded race gas...

Leaded fuel will eventually cause the 02 sensor to fail.

Are you referring to ALL O2 sensors, or just OEM O2 sensors? Would there be a type / brand of O2 sensor that would last longer than an OEM?

All O2 sensors will eventually fail if exposed to leaded fuel. However NTK and Denso's seem to last a quite a bit longer when compared to Bosch sensors. What is you reasoning for using leaded race fuel?
