I'm not sure but I would go with 93. Who are you buying it from.

its better to use a higher octance but 87 will not hurt it

Higher octane as in 93? lol sorry

the timing on these cars are set up for 93 octane. I bumped my timing down for 89 and it does ok.

Run the 93 and inj. cleaner every few fills...worth the extra coin

I would go with the 93 octane, the timing might have been alittle more aggressive vs. the mustang GT which can take 87. I would ask the seller if he ever messed with the timing, then just check it to see. Since it's N/A though, you could get away with 89. Sometimes on the car it'll state premium only but usually the SC Cobra's and SC lightning states that.
Also great buy, i love the pushrods, easier to work on.

My 95 said prem gas only in the hand book. I ran it a few times on mid and I didnt see any problems.
