From: Long Beach, Ms.
Superchips Max Micro Tuner will now support 87 Octaine gas. The tuning is easily installed and removed simply by doing the programing thru the diagnostic port. Check with Ken at Motorhaven for the latest availabillity.

From: Enjoying the real world.
87 octane does virtually nothing for the power. It mainly changes transmission characteristics and a little WOT tuning. If you want more power you're going to need to use the premium fuel tune.
