There are no settings to change. (at least with the TracKey.)
I wouldn't worry - the car has knock sensors & can adjust the timing on its own. It can definitely adjust to compensate for two points of octane.
FYI - you may have been kidding, but don't put "jet fuel" or Av-gas, or any fuel not specifically formulated for automotive use in your car (or any car). There may be additives or significant differences in the fuel characteristics that could damage the engine or rubber/plastic components or the catalytic converters.

LOL, Was a little tongue and cheek. Would never do the Jet Fuel without really looking into it. Not even sure where I would be able to get that. Just wanted to make the point that I have no idea how I would find 93 octane around here. Thanks for catching me though. Might have saved me from disaster...

In the dealer instructions I've downloaded from FRPP, it describes an octane adjust procedure. I'm on mobile but I have attempted to attach a screenshot.

[QUOTE=shaneyusa;6888781]Thanks that is what I was wondering. Have read about the ProCal being put into a auto adjust mode rather than only allowing 93 octane.

Hoping someone can answer this for me.
I picked up a used Procal 2 with the M-9603-mgtb tune\memory card(this does not include the launch control\lopey idle). Does anyone know what's involved in getting it switched\updated to my VIN and to the newer M-14204-MGTC(with launch control\lopey idle)?

So now that the tune has been out for a while are there any regrets? Anyone wish they had gone with something else? Is there better options?
I have not found a local dealer who has done an install. How important is that? Should I look outside of my area?
As soon as the weather breaks, probably a month out or more, I am ready to get the Track Key installed. But, want to make sure that there weren't some got ya's out there.

Check out for yourself. Let me know what you think. I have had anybody in my car that didn't have a grin from ear to ear. As previous post stated, car shakes awesome at red lights. Lol

Heads up for anyone else that buys a used M-9603-MGTB

My dealer had not done an install previously and their computer tech guy had a lot of trouble doing it. Small dealer. They ate the extra time and charged me $100.

The tune I can understand, they're different products. But if you can't switch the VIN then there's no sense in buying a used ProCal right?

They checked the VINs and said the switch was not a problem so I can get the ProCal tune. I cannot however get the updated Trackcal without purchasing a new unit.

Thx for the compliment!! Not yet on the track. Had that track key, Corsa exhaust, Boss adjustable shocks (front and rear), SVT camber plates, SVT lower springs and adjustable pan hard bar all done 1 week before garaged for winter. Upgrades were a early Xmas gift from my wife. Have plans to run on new track in CT, and going to try to get to performance driving school in N.C. In September. Can't wait!! Car runs and handles so much better.
