+1. Even if you have a bone stock Mustang. Just bump the timing for the free 18 - 24 HP (or even higher if it can handle it) and use the premium gas.

89 or 91 too rich of fuel (93+) with out advancing the timing accordingly will actually make the motor less efficient...

Whatever the highest octane is available around you. I put 93 in mine.

^^^ Yea, but bumping timing with the new octane though. What 7up said is true.

I am still running stock timing and I can run 87 octane without any problems. You might be able to pull off running the lower octane with these extra parts.
