To answer your question, using 93 octane at the stock tune is pretty pointless. In fact, over time, it will hurt your engine.

If you plan on remaining stock, then use 87. Otherwise, keep your tank the way it is and get a tune; you'll be amazed at the difference. Really.

I agree. My car with the bamachips tune and the C&L intake made a big difference. Most of that was the tune though. I use his 93 octane torque tune for daily driving.

unless you have a tune for the high octane, or have the new Bullitt (which can take advantage of higher octane gas) you're just throwing your money down the drain!
It's at least 20 cents/gal higher here for 91 vs 87. I bet 93 would be at least 50 cents more/gallon. That's a whole lot of money wasted just to burn dinosaur bones!
