Default ok to run with 93 octane?

i usually put 87 in, i tried 89 and it ran the same, i then tried 93 and it seems to be running better. this may be a stupid question, but am i going to ruin any of the engine components if i run with 93?

If you use the 91 or 93 octane tune, then use the 93 octane fuel, if 87 tune, use 89 octane fuel as recommended for the stock tune.

Don't tell me you were running 87 on the 91+ tunes...please say it isn't so. If you want to use 87 either use the predator 87 tune or put it back to stock. 93 octane is a waste of money on a stock tune.

you can run higher, but not lower, than what is recommended. it will be fine.
