110 race gas? You catalytic converters and O2 sensors (all 4 of them!) won't like it one bit. You might want to price a pair of cats and 4 sensors to see if you can afford the gas...
It probably won't damage the car right away, but over time the lead will build up on the sensor cells and the convert until they are not operational (enough) and you ECU pops a code...

Unless you somehow increased your compression ratio to about 14:1, you don't need (or want) 110 octane fuel.

For example:
BP CSP is one of the highest octane, oxygenated unleaded fuels available. Spec Fuel for high compression, fuel-injected Toyota-Atlantic North America Series. Street legal in most states.
• Color: Yellow
• Oxygenated: Yes
• Research Octane: 108
But, it is a waste of money with a 93 octane tune.

Hatchman,
That 108 Research grade gas is only about 103 in the "Real" world USA (aka: (Research + Motor) / 2 rating method that is used at the pump). Still good gas, but as good as "108" sounds when you compare it to your "normal" 93 pump gas.
