gas octane questions

i know obviously the lancer evolution needs 91 octane(premium, plus, whatever you want to call it) gas. my question is would it hurt to run anything higher without a tune?

You should run 93 anyway, that what the car recommends.

It's actually tuned for 98 RON from the factory, so like 93.1 (R+M)/2.
