What are you meaning by regular? 87 oct? And it is possible but I wouldn't get into hard at all if you do.

All GM Stage kits were designed for use with 93 octane fuel.

I would not recommend using 87 octane. It is only a few bucks more per tank ($2-3) between premium and regular. Use the correct fuel.
