Default Does leaning out fuel ratio with predator save gas milage?

I have kooks lt's with ory, msd wires, mac cat back, and a volant air intake. I was thinking about getting a predator and I was wondering how much can I lean out the fuel without problems, and can I save on gas milage to make up the cost of running premium over regular? Also do I have to run premium with a predator?

you have to run premium in these cars, with stock tuning.

10.1:1 compression ratio.

I never run premium and I have never had it ping.

You cannot make your car run any leaner with the Predator without throwing SES codes.

the PCM is in closed loop mood during normal operation so whatever you adjust will not affect your everyday milage. if it needs fuel to keep the correct a/f ratio, it will take it.
