And to further add to tomp's comments it may be worth mentioning that one nice feature of the Predator is that engine parameters can be monitored in real time while driving.

When I first ran the 93 tune with 85 octane fuel I monitored the spark and knock retard readouts on the Predator from dead stop to 70mph while running at wide open throttle (engine under maximum load). I did this several times and since no knock retard was ever noted I was confident that 85 octane was safe to use with the 93 tune.

I might also mention that I monitored again while in Moab (elevation 4000 - 4500ft.) and didn't see any knock retard there either. But sea level is whole other story I'm sure!
