What does everybody do if you have a 93 tune and no 93?
Was just wondering, I'm headed for a road trip this spring and if I happen to encounter a situation where I can not get 93 octane, would adding octane booster to 91 octane suffice?
Thanks!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Well, I mean... You have to reprogram it... But I say it's on the fly as switching between aftermarket tunes (as opposed to switching from Diablo tune to Stock or vise versa) takes around 45seconds for me... Can be done while filling gas =p

And I definitely agree about the gas station fuel booster crap - waste of money.

You really don't want to take any chances with lower octane fuel than your tune is intended for. These engines HATE detonation and even the slightest ping can damage your engine.
Either change the tune to something a little more conservative or carry a can of 104+ octane boost with you in case of emergency the stuff isn't what I would consider "safe" anyway, so you may as well carry your tuner and set the tune down a little lower.

Thanks everybody, it seems the best and really safest option is to just switch the tune if necessary. I mean it can be done at the gas station before you fill up so seems to be the best way to go, or for any road trips just program the 87 tune and be happy with it...hehe
later
thanks again
