Reading through and seeing all these 91 + Octane tunes. The highest Octane in Alaska is 90. Are there any tunes available for me with 90, I've read a little bit about octane booster but not familiar with it? just curious if anyone has the same problem what they do and what tune is recommended for this lower octane..

You could use Torco to raise the octaineup if you get tuned for a 93. Most email type tunes will have you do some data logging and your tuner will adjust your tune to the fuel you are using rather than a set octane tune. I've used Torco and it works just fine for eliminating KR. It's going to be all up to your tune and what fuel your using while data logging, if you get tuned with Torco then you would want to keep using it or mix your gas with race fuel to keep your octane level at or above what you were tuned with or you will start seeing KR and the ECU will start pulling timing. Won't hurt anything, you just won't get max performace.
