Default help just filled with 87 octane by accident

i just put my turbo kit on this weekend and been boosting great on what was left of the 93 octane in my tank but i was low on fuel so i went to chevron to fill up and i picked up the wrong fuel handle and didnt notice till it finished and the total price was only 9 bux for full tank. i only boosting 4-5 psi right now and i went ahead and put octane booster in to help a little but im afraid i might detonate. whats going to happen?

by the way setup is b18c1 drag t3/t4 kit with dsm 450 and VAFC

The stock tank has a drain plug on the bottom of it, go unscrew the plug and drain that crap out.

Either drive around until it is totally out which is next to impossible cuz I run race gas at the track and no matter how empty I run the tank it always has race gas in it. Either drain it or go mix some race gas with it.

Just retard the timing and don't boost till you are ready to fill up again or mix it with race gas
