Questions about octane and canned tunes

You will also have pure 87 octane fuel in the gas lines. If you load up the the 93 performance tune and drive agressively with 87 it can very easily cause problems.

The more 93 you add the more you will dilute the 87 octane. Then when you fill your second tank you should have the 87 diluted well enough to not cause trouble.

No problem in going down, you just have to be careful going up.

Thanks for the response. And sorry for hijacking your thread OP!!! So I can SAFELY run 93 octane with the canned 87 tune for a few tanks before I switch to the 93 canned tune??
