Default reload tune?

I am getting ready to pull my car out of storage and I was wondering if I am goin to have to re-install my tune. I took the battery out, and it has been out for 5 months. Also, will adding octane boost to the 87 octane tune do anything to the car. I forgot to put fuelstabilizer stuff in my car last year and I think that the gas in the car won't be very good. So I am thinkin if I put octane boost with injector cleanerin this gas it might make it better? Thanks.

your tune will still be there

DO NOT under any circumstances use octane booster

See how rough it is after you drive it for a bit.... If it's just kinda rough or weak, go to the gas station and fill it the rest of the way up with 93 octane....

Good lord, what is with all the octane booster talk lately.

Your tune will be intact, and DO NOT run octane booster.

Alright, thanks. Think I might just take it easy when I bring it out untill I put some fresh gas in her. What about with the injector cleaner thought, would it hurt to run a bottle through.

Lert me be the first to say "DO NOT USE OCTANE BOOSTER"!!! Ok, maybe like the millionth...

Why do you think you need injector cleaner? I wouldn't put anything in but fresh fuel. How long was it in storage? If it was about a year or more I might be concerned with stale gas and STILL wouldn't feel the need to put more crap in the fuel...

It was in storage for about 5 months. I never put octane boost in anything, just wondering if it would help, guess not. Maybe I will do the 91 octane when I pull it out. Also, I need to get a new filter for my CAI. Where can I get one from, I checked Brenspeed website (where I bought my kit from) but I didn't see that he sells filters by themselves. Thanks.

I thought you just could wash the filter with water then make sure its dry before you put it back. Could be wrong so you might want to ask some other people.
