As far as I know, if your engine is already broken in, there is no need
for a lead additive. Lead is necessary during the break-in process to
allow valves to seat properly. As to performance, as long as your Tiger
gets the right octane rating in the gas (either via lead or other means)
there should be no performance degradation when you switch to unleaded.
Any other opinions?
