I have that tune, and you defiantly don't want to use it as a dd your gas mileage will be pretty bad, but their towing tune makes a good dd tune.

I've always wondered about the octane. I only run 87 so would I get only 87 octane tunes?

you need to use the correct octane for the tune you are using. 87 octane for an 87 tune etc. you can use a higher octane fuel and run a lower octane tune but never vice versa.
