I was wondering if you could run VT stage 1 cams on regular? Or does the timing of the cams require premium?

My Diablosport flip chip has a 87 and 93 octane setting, on my car the 87 smoothes up the idle but kills the extra power while the 93 does the opposite and from my recent fillups the 93 tune gets decent gas mileage, 20 to 21 with 75% freeway driving and 25% city driving.

Higher compression, advanced timing, or boost requires premium.
