Higher octane stuff...I think 91 is the lowest.

Every advertisement for the Predator clearly states that the Performance Tune requires Premium/Super Unleaded.

The tune in the Predator is set up for 93 octane so your car doesn't ping with the advanced timing. You can run 87 octane but you'll have to retard the timing. You'll save a buck or two per tank but you'll also lose out on some of the performance gain offered by the Predator.
