Peculiar odor from exhaust

Folks,
This is, sort of, an odd post, but when I run premium gas (not the "off road" 101 octane I had been running), the car has a smell like some sort of mixed chemical like that of a glue/epoxy or something. It seems odd and I cannot figure out what the deal is. I know this isn't much info, but any opinions? I am runing and LS3 with CNC ported heads, big cam and other modifications....

If you were running the off road 101 and got used to it, the pump grade fuel will definitely smell different.

I agree but this smell is odd. It smells like some sort of epoxy resin mixing.....I have performance cats (and LG system)....

Could it be a bad convertor?
