Jet Chip and Octane Ratings

I bought a Stage II Jet Chip for my truck. I got it for a really great deal
and wanted to try it out, especially since Superchip will not be making a
programmer for my '04 4.7L (and there is really nothing else out there for
my truck!).

The Stage II says:
"Stage 2-Designed for the performance enthusiast, the Stage 2 features more
aggressive programming to make the most horsepower and torque available.
Fuel and timing curves are extensively modified for peak performance and
drivability. Requires use of 91 octane fuel, 180 degree thermostat and free
flow exhaust. Also works well with aftermarket intake systems, mass air
sensors, TBI spacers, etc."

I understand having to run 91 octane, but what about the cans/bottles of
octane booster? Can I throw in a can of octane booster with 87 octane? Or
should I just run 91 octane?

Thanks for any and all info.
