What's up GI, yeah Roman answered this but one other observation...I have the 91 octane-rated 625 kit...and when I dyno'd on 91 octane with my catless x-pipe I was at 543 RWHP. I then filled up with half 91 and half pump 100 to yeild a mix of ~ 95 octane and dyno'd at 567 RWHP...so the ECU definitely adapts. Bummer that you don't have anyone to install for you...maybe you can fly somebody in I know it's extreme and a large extra cost but that's what I would do if I were in your situation. Just ask Roman what tools are needed and have those ready for the installer.
