Superchip and octane booster?
It is my understanding that the V10 engine is OK with 87 octane and running higher octane gas on a stock engine will probably yield little or no extra benefits.
HOWEVER...the Superchips programmer does require 91-93 octane to get optimal results. Doers this also mean if I am running the Superchips I can get even MORE power from also adding octane booster to the fuel tank? Let's say the tank is now 95 or higher octane with the octane boost additive?
Thanks for any help.

The superchips tuner cannot advance timing enough to take advantage of anything more that 93 octane. Also, you would have to add 20 bottles to bring your tank up to 95 octane. Most boosters add about .1 octane. So about a tenth of a octane.
