Okay I just fiilled up with 19.6 gallons on 93 with about 1.4 to 2.0 gallons of 87 still in there, would I be okay running on the canned 93 tune?

Using an overabundance of caution. I'd run the 91 octane tune until you next fill up with 93. Yer 93 is now diluted - best-case yer PCM will detect knock and pull timing which will hurt performance.
BTW - NEVER use an octane booster! The stuff is crap and can hurt O2's and cats. And the quantity you'd need to actually make a difference is much greater than you think - when they say octane 'points' they mean fraction of a full octane number ( e/g 0.1 point versus 1.0 point ).
I also concur - don't touch timing unless you know exactly what yer doing - you have access to both Global and RPM-specific spark adders, but you don't know how much to add/remove SAFELY. The knock sensing systems in these trucks is so good that simply going by what knock you can hear is purty much futile.
Good luck
