No
87 for your stock motor will be fine

if you can afford the extra bones when you put gas in, do the 93, and run 91 octane, more power.

think of gas fillup, you put in 10 gallons, at $.40 higher, your talking $4.00

pay to play

what im thinking of is once you go to 91 octane you shouldnt ever switch back to a lower octane..or thats what i have heard...whats the difference in power? AND WHATS YOUR OCTANE TUNE?

Make sure you fill up with good fuel that matches or exceeds the level of tune you are getting. Both times I've gotten a tune several people had crappy fuel and it makes Justin's job harder.

If you CEL is lit you should have the codes read and fix any problems before the tune.

Check and replace your air filter if necessary.

As stated above clean the MAF sensor, replace your fuel filter and plugs and wires if necessary. Use NGK TR5IX plugs. I wouldn't use anything else except AC Delco OEM replacements if you want your engine to run right and last a while.

If you have the funds maybe invest in a Cold air intake and cat back exhaust.

Replace the PCV valve...it's cheap and inexpensive.

Clean the throttle body really well.

Make sure you don't have any blown fuses.

Basically, Justin is going to base his adjustments on how your engine is running. You want everything to be in tip top shape.

I just wanted to ask if i`m reading it right, You have a 93 tune but run 91 octane? I have a 93 tune and only run 93. With gas prices approaching $4.00 a gallon for 93 here in N.Y. i`d love to run 91 if it won`t hurt anything.

This thread is awesome thanks for the feed back but I have some noobish questions what is the MAF and PCV even thought I have tons of post the lingo is still new to me I have only been in and around my car since December. Thanks guys.

yes, all we have is 91 available. The computer will sense any detonation if I ahve any and will pull timing accordingly. I can run 87 if I want, it will still compensate. But mash the skinny, and I wont get all the power, unless I had a higher octane in it. So I just run 91 all the time. Course, all I have too
