87-89 octane with edge?

i know you are spose to run 91-93 octane with the edge boxes, but do any of you guys run 87-89? at 3.13 a gallon compaired to 3.30 for premium i would almost take the chance if it was doable..... bad idea? or does it kill the performance?

it wouldnt necessarily kill performance as it would kill your engine..That is if you are using the level 3 tune. But looking at your prices Id say in a 30 Gal tank a 5$ difference in filling up between regular and premium isnt that bad a deal.

You only "need" to run 91+ on the Level 3 Performance tune. You can run 87 or 89 with the other two just fine.

Welcome to FTE twk7123. If you look at the first page or two of this forum, you will find a thread titled "Edge Owners Tuning Thread" (or something similar). That is more or less a consolidated section for people to post their tweaks and results.
