I have never seen a place sell everything below 87 octane, usually it's 87 89 and 91, or you get the occasional 93 or 85 but never heard of a place with less than 87 only. Also if you add rhtanol it usally jumps the octane rating, ours here is 87 natural gas and 89 corn/water gas, and 91 natural.

Colorado sells 85 in the mountain towns, but thats for low grade. Super would be 90 or 91. You can run an 87 tune and put 87+ in the tank, but it is not recommended to run any octane lower than what the tune is for even with octane boosters.

Call or email Rick. How long have you had your tuner? They came out with the V2 Oct Or Nov last year any tuners ordered after that will have the new tune files on the tuner the V2 files.

Yes you are! Mine did not say V2 either so I called Rick freaking
out cause of what I paid thinking I got Old tunes but he explained they delete all the old files and only keep the new files and upload them to the tuner. He said he was out of town and the guy that uploaded it did not put v2 on the file name. So I trust Rick he is upfront and a good guy so I know without a doubt I have the latest greatest files from them.

Ya Rick is an awesome guy. He gave me a VIP tour of the shop when I was up there. Also same with me. Rick was out of town when I got my tune.

As Boosted Limited mentioned, the old tunes are removed from the database, so if you got your tunes after the 91 V2 and 93 V2 were released this is what you have. If you pm me your first and last name, I would be happy to look at the files to be sure.

Thank you,

Rick
