Welcome to Texas, home of 93 octane and 100+ degree heat.

I agree with Sqidd you will need a new tune.

Agree with GAP you don't need a new tune to run a higher octane gas.

Enjoy the hp gain.

I hate that my FI car is so much slower here.

Well, I just talk to Chris at tillman and he said that I will be ok running a 91 tune on 93 octane, just not a 93 tune on 91 octane. But like I said earlier I'll be getting a new tune as soon as I can. (waiting for the another sale at Tillman!!! )

Nah.. were not THAT trigger happy.. or are we?

Probably don't have to worry too much until the New World Order tries to take over.. at that point I would probably run for cover.

Correct, we have 87, 91, and 93 available. You can run a higher octane than a vehicle (or a tune) is built for, but not a lower.
You do not want your timing to get ahead of combustion or you can damage your engine.
