and NO not the 'I drank lots of beers followed by a ton of Taco Bell' stuff. My question is what is the best grade to run on a N/A 3.4? I've heard our engines are best on low octane but then I've heard they're designed to run premium. Someone wanna resolve this.
Ack- Taco Bell...harming senses...eyes watering...nose on fire...parakeet dieing...

You can use 87 with no problem if you don't have much in the way of mods, it's only 9:1 compression. However, if you have enough done that you're getting a pretty hot burn (lots more air and hotter spark), then you're looking at detonation and resultant knock retard at the top end. In that case, try 89 first, and then try 91.
When I had my 3.4, I had the K&N filter, Accel coils and wires, the air box opened up, and the noise baffles removed, and I was getting knock retard (from detonation), which resulted in the car taking off strong, and then at about 4500 rpm, it felt let the throttle dropped off a bit, then picked back up at about 5000rpm. Switching to 91 (92/93 in other states) got rid of that.
