Simple question, im and idiot and have ran 87 octane in my 2000 WS6. I was just wondering if i'd have to make any adjustments to start running 93?

You might do the ECM reset procedure that is on here somewhere. That forces it to relearn the fuel curve.

Put in the Super Dupe. The CPU is already mad at you. Pouting like a girlfriend with a cheap ring. Not putting out. Premium gas!

It'll run on 87 just fine. I would always run my LS1 SS on 89 octane. Never had a problem and it still ran low 13's

just fill it back up with 93... your comp has a table for using high or low octane gas anyway so it will switch when it realizes it
