Hello all,

I will be moving to sunny San Diego in a few weeks and unfortunately they don't have 93 octane but I wanted to see what kind of difference should I expect in regards to performance?

Hope your move goes well!  I suspect a hit of maybe 10 whp/wtq from the dynos I have seen around the 'net ...

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'd ask Torrie directly to see what he can do with the tune, based on your driving style and conditions.  This info is kids' stuff to tuners :D

Yeah that's a good idea. I'm sure he will know all of the differences.
