Mine only smells on start-up. Once it's running it doesn't smell at all.

I have ran 104 octane Racing Unleaded in my truck with cats. No issues and it smelled great.

Running race fuel in an engine wont cause it to blow up. It may run bad, but racing fuel doesnt all of a sudden majke your engine make more power. Teh only fuel to do that is if you add nitromethane.
Even nitrous oxide wont burn on its own.

When I had no cats, it was very smelly, cats on and no smell.

You guys who arent running cats, try running your trucks in a shop, I guarentee it stinks morethan with no cats.


peace

Definatley a smell difference when I took the cats off, when I ran the corn fuel E85 it had a weird smell, you can definatley smell race fuel if you run it with no cats.
