Kleeman ECU tune

They just released a new ECU tune for the E400 V6 Bi-turbo motor, the tech specs say you need to run super 98+ or 100 octane fuel. The dyno sheet shows an amazing difference of +70 HP from 339 to 413.

Two questions:

1) How would this run on pump gas?
2) Can you simply add octane booster in the correct amount to get the level up?

Here in wisconsin you can't buy 100 octane gas anywhere. Best unleaded fuel i can get is 93 octane at shell, and not all of them have that - some only have 91 octane!

Interesting, thanks for sharing
Octane booster? Sounds like a pain at every fill up.
Bump

Kleemann got back to me - 98 Octane in europe = 93/94 octane here in the States.

Right now the exchange rate is not favorable, the ECU would be $1800 through Kleemann US. The Kleemann euro website quotes $1500.
