Well usually after a reflash the timing is made a little more aggressive, and requires higher octane, but you already knew that.

Doesn't Upsolute has various stages of reflashed mapping, so I guess you can get by on 91 gas? This is another issue I have with these companies that remap our ECU's, we never really know what they did if at all anything. Anychance you can get a print out of the cells and compare before and after?
