Default just came, and need help....

My CAI just came, it doesn't require a tune, but I'm not sure if I should start using premium gas instead of regular unleaded. Please help.

Btw its a BBK CAI.

No you definately do not need to use premium.

It doesnt hurt the car at all. I have always ran the higher grade and no problems. I get better milage and the car ran better with it

There is no reason the run an octane higher than what your engine calls for. It is a waste of $$$.

The only thing a higher octane fuel does for you is enables you to tune the car for more power. Higher octane in and of itself does not give one bit of added power.
