Dood... the compression ratio on the SVT makes running anything less than 91 unsafe. Period. You can't detune compression ratio. It is what it is. If you wanna add a thicker head gasket, you can get away with a lower octane, but not through tuning.

DO NOT under any circumstances put less than 91 in an SVT.
