Default Tuner question

I have the superchips flashpaq. On the towing and performance tune they both say 91 octane or better needed. I used the tow tune with 87 octane today and it seams fine. Is it bad to continue using either tune with out the proper octane? What will happen? Thanks

87 octane tune is designed for 87 and higher. But 91 is designed for 91 oand. higher. It is minimum octane for that tune. If lower than recommended octane is use it will cause pinging and you could damage your motor.
