MarkD chip 91 or 93?

Whats the difference between the 91 Octane and 93 Octane MarkD chip? And the 93 Octane chip is not on the EAT website...

My guess is a more advanced ignition curve. Probably only 1-2 degrees.

Anything more precise? I assumed timing was a bit more advanced but if it's only that then I can't justify the price of 94 Octane gas over 91...

Have you tried emailing or PMing Mark on one of the forums?

I've e-mailed him twice, he seems to be busy because I haven't had a reply so I thought I'd try the forums.

I called him about the exact same thing. He said he just advanced the timing it a little while using an a/f meter to keep it percise. He hadnt dyno'd so there arnt exact numbers to compare the 2, but i dont think its a big gain from 91 to 93. I ended up going with the 93 since they sell 87, 89 or 93 here.
overall i love the chip, felt ~10% gain in the butt dyno.
