Default Should I do a Pump and Race tune?

Please help me decide, looking for input from folks who have been on the fence and gone one way or another. The car came with a 93/100 octane mix tune (2 gallons of 100 to full tank of 93)... which I didnt care for much and it is a little lean from the datalogs i've conducted. So I've scheduled a dyno appt, going to retune, and trying to decide if I should even bother doing a 93 octane tune.

Car is well built, 84mm 10:1 GSR (sleeved), GT35R, ID1300, Hondata S300

I will drive the car to and from the track (about 25 miles each way). I'm not overly concerned with the cost of C16, just being realistic that I wont frequently change between 93 and C16 if I were to tune on both.

Looking for input from those that have decided one way or another.

Thanks!

Seems like you are ok with keeping C16 in the tank and have no intention to ever put 93 in there.
In that case, a 93 tune seems pretty useless.

You really did answer your own question. If you doubt you'll change it, why bother with a separate tune? If it's marginal (cost wise), it won't hurt, but you probably won't get much use out of it. Probably worth going straight C16.

I am tuning on race gas for the same reasons you mentioned. Don't street drive much but want max HP at the track.

Yeah, I have a tendency to over analyze things.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
