87 oct, no tunner, usally use mobil as it is close to the house and usally 5 to 10 cents cheaper than the others. With a 38 gallon tank, it helps.

Know what you mean!
The power is better and shifts better than it has ever shifted since it was new.
Gas mileage seems to be better at 12.8 with a 4:30 LS. I cleaned my throttle body and MAF a couple days ago waiting to see if that helps any.

I use whatever REGULAR is with my 5-star towing tuner. On the west coast that is 87 while east of Idaho it is usually 85. I typically use Chevron or Shell. When towing it is whatever station has best access.
