Default Think stabil will mess up a tune?

Ok i have almost all of my turbo parts but it's starting to snow already down here so i won't have the car done until spring. I store my teg for the winter and normally put a full tank of 93 octane gas in with a 8oz bottle of stabil. Now this year my plans are to work on it during the winter and have it ready to be tuned by spring right away. Now my concern is i will have a full tank ready to go when i get the car tuned in spring with stabil in it. Do you think the stabil will mess up the tune and then it will be messed up when i put fresh gas in without stabil? What are my options if you think it's a bad idea?
Thanks guys

didnt really read indepth, but stabil does nothing to the map itself.

it changes the characteristics of the fuel though.

do you think that getting my car tuned in the spring with stabil in the gas is safe? Like will the tune be different if there is stabil in the gas than without stabil?

tune your part throttle map on the fuel with stabil in it...and your full-throttle map with new gas.

Why chance a 2k dollar motor on 35 dollars worth of fuel?
