if you tune for 91, you can run 92 or higher and not have any problems.

Scothew is right.

But DO NOT try to get it by using 87 octane with some kind of octane booster.

I was thinking 87 for the street tune, 89 for performance, and 93 for race, which I doubt I'll be using much anyways.
First of all its easy for me because they sell 87, 89, and 93 around here. So in Seven I get tunes for 93. I never have to worry about it, that's the premium grade all over the region.

Now you can obviously put higher octane in, but you can't put lower octane in.

So if you think you can readily find 91 at a pump then go with that like Scothew says.

Now once you put 91 in and get the race tune the other 3 tunes are going to be junk. I had 3 tunes when I got my X-cal 2 for Seven, but once I loaded the 93 Race tune all the others might as well not even exist. They were a waste of time.

So my advice is plan on always using 91 octane and get two tunes for that, if you feel like hugging a tree then get a third economy tune or something for gas mileage.

It's for a DD though...so maybe I'll do 87, 91, and 93 then. So hard to decide.

Do 91, 91, and 93.



Hell I'd do all 93 and find the gas station when I need it.

I'd do all 93 if I could. When school comes though, I'll be driving every day using a little more than a tank a week. 87, 91, 93 probably works best for what I'm using it for.

Just remember Nathan you will regret it. You will think to yourself, Gary told me so, but I know you'll never admit it.

Mark my words!!!!

Get a 93 torque tune and a 93 race tune or something. Then get you a mileage tune if you must.
