    I just put a suppercharger on a N/A engine and was wandering if I could run regular gas in it? It runs good with premium but I have not tried rugular gas yet.

    You can...but have fun poppin pistons on low octane. Why does everyone complain about the extra few bucks at the pump?

    do the highest octan available... its worth it and cheaper than having to rebuild/ replace you engine.

    GTPs are recommened for at least 91 anyway, do the 91 or 93, whichever you have available. why put crappier gas in a car you just did all that work to?
