almost forgot..You wanna make sure you're running all 93 in your tank before you flash. Basically don't fill from like a 1/2 tank of regular just adding "some" 93.

93 FTW!

I've used Shell V-Power in the last 13k miles and only been out of reach of a Shell on 4 occasions, on which I use Sunoco 93. Would never use anything else. The inside of my engine is as clean as it can be.

FWIW, a good custom 87 tune will still kick azz over the stock 87.

Yea but what hes saying is an SCT 87 Tune (made by tuners) kicks the stock 87 tunes (factory) ***. Of course is what I'm saying.

I posted that for the OP's benefit since he most likely wasn't aware of that. Many that are not familiar with custom tunes have no idea that there's a difference. Most think it's just an "octane thing".
