    I know all the top swap stickies... ive seen then and read quite a few. But i couldnt find in any if it specifically said that I would have to run Premium in my car after the swap?? Do I?

    Not doing the swap yet..... debating on a swap, or finding a GTP in my area and getting it.

    You don't NEED to run 91. But if you do you can get more timing. More timing more power.

    If you don't want to run 91, pump 87 and tune it for 87 and have a slow top swap.

    Or pump 87 when tuned on 91 and go boom.

    your gonna need more than just a tune to run 87 on a high comp car since 16* of timing is what op should be running.

    run the premium. not worth the risk involved. if you cant afford 3-4 bucks a fill up, dont do the swap.
