The Performance Tune in the Predator will not make your car run rich just because you are running 91 octane fuel instead of the 93 the tune is designed for.

What modifications do you have done to your car? Most likely if you have an aftermarket MAF or CAI kit installed this is what could be causing your rich issue.

Normally the Performance Tune runs fine on 91 octane, however if you are experiencing detonation you can remedy this by selecting Modify Tune, then removing 10% spark from 2-4 and 4-7k, if you still experience detonation then try removing an additional 5%.
Thank You

We would need to know what revision you have to tell you what changed.
EWither way, you always want to have the latest software on your Predator, so go ahead and update when you get a chance.

I was also getting a too rich code my problem was that the Predator programming was calling for a larger intake tube coming off the filter of my cold air filter. Once I changed it to a 90mm problem solved.
