Depends on your computer tune. If the computer is allowed to drop the timing enough, there shouldn't be an issue. But, if it's minimum is too high, you could be in trouble.

Just stay out of boost and you should be fine with a couple of bottles of 104. If you know how to use your tuner, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a couple of degrees off. If your car is anything like mine, you should be filling up here again soon anyways.

dude haha that brings back memories. the day i got mine tuned, i forgot to fill up the tank with 93 and left 87 in it. my tuner told me it was cool to drive it til i was empty, which i did, i just kept the rpms under 2000. it really sucked because i wanted to get into boost so bad. u just have to run all the gas out bro
