Premium. All supercharged 3800s require premium fuel (Ashley, the Intimidator has an L67 just like the Dale Jr edition). I used to have an 04 Dale Jr, and while it would run on mid-grade, fuel mileage suffered, as did performance. It was one of those deals where I accidentally hit the wrong button if I recall correctly and I already had a decent amount of fuel in when I realized what I had done. There's also a probable chance you could get KR as well (I didn't have a scanner at the time so I didn't know if I did or not) and KR is bad.

Welcome to the site.

Supercharged=premium, otherwise you'll detonate and run slow as molasses.
