Default Is it worth retuning a car for 91 octane that was tuned for 93 octane?

Hey guys!

I have an LS2 402 in my RX7 that was tuned for 93 pump. I will be moving the car to Cali where 91 is the highest octane. Would it be worth retuning the car to 91 octane or would I be ok with running the same tune on 91? I'm running ~11.3:1 compression and iirc about 26 degrees of timing.

Re tune is s must. Plus your going to have to take quite a bit of timing out of it.

Ya thats way too much timing for 91, you need your timing brought back to 22-24 range.
