No, you do not do a tune by filling up with it. This statement alone shows you know very little (if any) about the entire subject.I do not state this to belittle you, I state it as a starting point. My advice...I highly suggest you do some (a lot) of research before doing anything (power related or otherwise) to your vehicle. Keep in mind a good "tune", not a magic chip, will work. It will also not be cheap. It will also only work on, in this example, 92 octane. Not sure where you live but around me 92 isn't even available. So if you ever travel somewhere where you need to use a lower octane gas, keep in mind that pinging may be possible, and in a worse case detonation can occur.
I'm taking a wild guess here and guessing you really don't NEED mo powa, but want it. Understandable, since a 290hp V6 in a pig of a vehicle won't win any land-speed records. But it's a GC, that's not what it's for.
I may be right, may be wrong. Just my .02, for what it's worth. Really hope it helps somewhat.

Cool. WE "blueprint vintage engines", so there is just a tad of brains, but not in chips, as we don't run an engine with chips, 'cept potatoe.
But thanx for the explanation about the chip. Cool stuff.
All we use are jets and venturies.
Will use the car, get back in a year. Who knows.
