Default Programs are the same, so this is not possible.

You could get the Select SPS or Select Plus and change between 91 and 93 Octane settings yourself. With Select Plus you could even write your own program for 94 or 100 Octane gas.

Having said that, your dealer would be able to tell what the Revo settings are - 91 Octane or 93 Octane settings. For 93 Octane they should be Boost - 6, Timing - 5, and Fueling -9.

IMHO upping boost is pontless, as the small KO3 can not make any more. Upping timing can deliver additional benefits depending on gas, ambient temperature, and the car. (This assumes stock car.)

If you live around Seattle, come over and I will check it out.

Default Nothing bad at all. Perhaps not even a noticeable difference. Worst case...

Is a 5hp loss or so. Just have them check. The worse situation would be running 93 settings on 91 octane but Revo is very safe with timing and even that wouldnt likely cause you eminent danger. cheers! Mike

Default well it's just that maybe I got used to the power......

just wondering if i'm getting all the advertised power of the flash. I have a tip and the cars does pull hard from 3-6k. I guess I need to do a few 0-60 runs with a stop watch or run a car who's 0-60 is close to what my car should be doing now.

Default Actually Revo says:

91 octane
Timing: 3
Boost: 5
Fueling: 9

93 octane
Timing: 5
Boost: 7
Fueling: 9

But obviously there are adjustments available for modifications + regional fuel differences.
