It's not going to hurt it but it's probably not going to give it any kind of advantage either unless you adjust the timing accordingly. Not really worth messing with IMO

Exactly...for the price they prob want per gallon you would be better off sticking with 92

They are pretty much a waste. You are better off having the PCM programmed by PCMforless, MadZ28.com, etc
