87 octane, Tune

If i was going to get a tune say like tomorrow and I have always used 93 but accidentally put 87 in, will this make a difference. Let me know. Or by adding some Octane booster to it to get it closer to the 93???????????

you'll see reduced power because the knock sensors will be pulling timing to prevent pre-detonation in the combustion chamber

the best octane booster is race fuel

Octane booster won't get you anywhere near 93 octane. When those boosters say octane points its a misnomer... 2 octane points is 0.2 added to the fuel rating.

Ideally youd run it all out or drain the tank. it will be hard to tune the car to run right with the completely wrong fuel in it.
