i have been using a hypertech on my 06 since new on 87 octane and it takes away the response lag, it gives the pep it needed.
i have ran it on the 93 octane tune and it gives it more power with no side affects. since i do live in ca and there is only 91 octane here & i have to add a can of lucas octane booster to the tank to up my octane to 93 if not you will get pinging at wide up throttle. lucas octane booster is the only one that i have used the works but it is around $10 a bottle.

I live in Vegas so I have the same with 91 octane! Is that a $10 octane boost every time on a fill up? Do you notice a big change between the 87 to the 93 tune? Which do you prefer?

Thanx

you can feel the difference 87 vs 93, and yes 1 bottle of octane booster with every fill up for the 93 tune. i just run the 87 and i am fine with it, it has the pep you need to move on those inclined freeway on ramps and for passing cars now.

Ok, so I installed the hypertech with the 87 octane tune! It seems like I have more of a ping noise at idle and driving between 5-15mph but it seems to go away at the higher mph after that! Unless I can't hear it? Is this normal? What kind of mileage gain did you get? Other than the minor ping things did improve!

Thanx

first of all i have no pinging at all at idle or full throttle.
i stay away from cheap gas like am/pm & 7/11 gas.
i have seen that cheap gas does not meet the full 87 octane rating and will cause the car to ping.
i only run gas from 76, shell, & mobil and have no problems.
i average 12.7-13.2mpgs by dividing the miles by gallons filled up.
i always fill up to the top of the neck.
