I'm not all that fussed about getting much extra peak power, If I got some improved torque in the dip i'd be happy, and perhaps some improved throttle response.

The only issue is i'm from Australia, and perhaps this is incorrect, but I've been told our fuel is slightly different to the US fuel. The way I understood it, is what you guys refer to as 93, we know as 98 RON. But someone has suggested this isn't necessarily the case.
Everything I've hear is that 98 RON is somewhere between US 91 and 93, so you should be good to go, especially becuase of the reply I actually finally got from Shiv:

"At this time, the OTS tune files for 2017 cars are for 91-94oct. You will see that the tune is not too conservative for 93oct. We do have E85 tunes ready to go which will be more aggressive than the gasoline tune. Do you have access to E85?"

If anyone knows where I can get E85 near South New Hampshire/Boston area then I might have to try this out for autocross

And today's DYNO DAY!! Will the stock tires hold onto the dyno well enough or do I need to swap to my RE-71rs?
