Tuning question!

I currently live in GA, where we have 93 oct, but am moving to Reno, NV in May/June where they obviously only have 91. Im wanting to get tuned really bad and have some great tuners in the area. Im wondering if i got tuned on 93 would the car be really bad on 91, or if i could manage to make my own mix of 91 (half 93 and half 87) if that would run fine on 93 while im here in GA? Appricate the info!

it may knock depending on your timing.

if its slower it is because your knock control is pulling timing to save your motor.

retune it.

I was thinking that would probably happen. I just dont wanna have to pay for 2 tunes! What if i were to get a good piggy back? Utec? Has Cobb tuning released their Accessport for the Evos? One more thing i just thought of that maybe you guys can give me input on. What if i were to buy a tactrix cable and buy a rom from Dynoflash for 93 and 91? That way while im still here i can use the 93 flash and then once i start getting into areas that have 91 i can use the 91 rom. Ill have my laptop on the trip, so i can flash on the fly. Would i even see a difference if i got a e-flash from dynoflash? Sorry... I know its alot of questions, but i appriciate the help!
