93 Only, Shell preferred, but I'll go to Exxon Mobil/Texaco and a few others that were listed on the website for cleanest fuel provided in the manual.

I run only 93 in mine. I've only had it for 3-4 weeks, so I haven't really compared it with any other octanes. I just know I wanna go fast

According to the manuals, for LS3's, you 'technically' can use 87, but you might get some spark knock. It recommends 93 or higher octane for the most power and performance.

With today's standards, gasoline is gasoline. It doesn't really matter if it's from Shell, Chevron, no name, etc. Some companies may advertise specific "detergents" in their gas but the truth is all gasoline has some form of detergents and cleaning agents.
With that said, I only make sure I fill up with premium every time and not necessarily which gas company I get it from.
