Big problem with superchip!!!
Agree..I live in the boonies and occassionally have to put in 87 octane (SC 91 Tune) to get me to the big City (40 Thousand People) like say 10-15 bucks worth, but also add appl. ratio of Penzoil Octane booster at the same time as I always carry a few for that purpose. I realize that the booster probably only boosts it to 89 if I'm luckey as the 3 point boost claimed on the can is questionable. I have never had any problems or knocking in these situations, but ensure I fill with 91 as soon as I get to town. If its a full tank of 87 you got, I would re-tune to 87 and add an octane booster.
Yep, the timing is advance quite a bit with the performance tune and as a result, even if you don't hear it, you can bet there is a fair amount of predetonation going on.
The 87 octane tune is still a better performing tune than stock, so I'd run it on that until you get the tank at least down to about a quarter tank. If you can get 3/4 of a tank of 93 octane in it, then you'd prolly be at or close enough to the 91 octane for your performance tune.
Also, I hope you are switching to the tow tune when pulling your trailer, pulling over 2k pounds is a no-no with the performance tune...

it wont do anything.... i have the 91 setting on mine and i run 87 all the time. I have not felt any difference at all--- even with fuel milage. I live in alberta canada so i dont know if our gas is different then the states.
I think its been a few months since i put 91 in. I use a Lucas fuel additive thought and i seem to get a little better milage with that.
