14 months and 2400 miles. All with 93 octane except that 52 miles on the purchase odometer most likely 87. Just pulled my #5 and #20. If this car has been running on a low map it is pretty damn impressive....

will update soon.

Left the fuses out for 48 hours and ran five tests this morning. One of the last crisp cool low humidity mornings until October.

Two yes. Two definite maybe. One meh. Thought it revved more freely. Zipped to redline and needed 5th gear at 101mph. Waiting on the phone call from my brother for doing 82mph behind his house at 7:45am....lol

Statements above regarding speed may be false.

Late feedback but I would like to add my 02.
I did those mentioned fuses pull (left my car sitting without fused overnight ~5h) and it worked!
I CAN feel the difference.
Have to admin that indeed dealer doesn't really care of fuel grade they fill in cars. My dealer told me that SS "eats" 87 but I really don't like how it runs on "Regular".
Now I feed my Chevy only 93.
Needless to say Owner Manual says using 91 fuel as a minimum.

It works if your ECM has dropped to the low octane fuel map. If it hasn't then it will not make any difference.
