Running base map in high altitude

Looking to pick up the Flashpro and run the stage 2 base map for my '18 2.0, just had a couple questions to see if hondata or ktuner is my best path.

I live in Colorado and most gas stations only offer 91 octane. Don't plan on getting the car custom tuned for a while, is running the base map on 91 recommended? Only other mod I have in mind is a mishimoto intake.

What elevation are you at?

That will be fine.

You will probably not see the same gains as at lower elevations and you should be ok to use 91 octane fuel.

Thanks a bunch, appreciate the quick replies. Still pretty new to the tuning world, is there anything I should keep an eye on when driving the car? Such as knock, etc

Look at the knock and AF ratio.
