I doubt that octane boost hurt..or did anything. That superchips would help you change your shift points so it will go into 3rd(let me guess, it smacks rev limit and wont shift?).
Best thing to do would be to get a real tune though.
Have fun

octane boost? like the stuff you add to a gas tank that says' increases by 9 points?


octane booster is a waste of money.... it will raise 93.0 to 93.9 octane..

and running higher octaned than needed will hurt performance

I sell custom xcalibrators for your Vehicle that are set up with EXACTLY what mods you have done. It would be alot different than any handheld. Call me if you have any questions.

Considering the mods you have, you may want to consider something like the Predator, as it has quite a bit of end user adjustability which will allow the tool to grow with you and you can dial in your tune how you like.
Plus it supports custom tuning from our CMR dealers.

Thanks
