I have acess to some race fuel but didn't know if it would be good for my car or not.

at work we have a barrel of 110 and a barrel of 118
The airport right behind us sells some higher octane (I forget what octane it is)
I just want to know if the stock injectors would handle leaded fuel. I have a stock H-pipe but the 2 rear cats were replaced with pipe so it now only has the 2 front ones...
any thoughts

Cats and lead dont play nice. I wouldn't do it personally.

when I put a OR H-pipe on and delete all the smog crap then would it be safe or would I damage the heads or injectors......what about o2 sensors

Lead will kill the cats AND the O2's.

As Jason said, the lead is death to both cat converters and O2 sensors.
