Default 93 octane
I'm wanting to get a tuner and run a race tune, my problem is there is no 93 octane in my area, the best is 91. Could I boost the 91 to 93 easily? And what product for doing this?

Why don't you just get a 91 tune? I wouldn't trust any of the snake oil called octane booster.

Jim would it still be comparable to the 93 tune? I don't mind paying for premium all the time, and is it safe to run the race tune all the time?

The difference won't be great, your "butt dyno" will probably never notice the difference between the 91 and 93.

Yes, you can run most of the race tunes daily. The throttle tends to be a little touchier though.

You will love the 91 tune - doubtful the 93 will be significantly different.
