Question VAP Pulleys <--> Do You Need/Run Octane Boosters??

Hello F-type 5.0 brethren who are running VAP Pulleys/Tune.

I am thinking of going for this on my F-Pace SVR, there are a lot more of you F-Type 5.0 folks running combinations of the VAP Pulleys/Tune than over in the F-Pace forum.

I live in AZ, we have 91 octane premium gas. you can find 93 but it is hard to find and more expensive and I don't want to have to do that for each tank if I go full VAP, both pulleys and the tune.

Can I go this route and not have to do the boostane add for each tank?

Do any of you all actually add octane boosters after the VAP treatment in an area you can only get 91 octane?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks!

They'll send you a tune based on the octane you tell them you have available

I actually emailed VAP and got a somewhat confusing answer, given the above post. They told me there is no 'separate tune', and that it just pulls timing. Which the car already does anyways for winter blend fuels usually.
