Will a 93 octane tune *really* cause faster engine and trans wear?

Hey guys,

 

Been thinking about getting an Unleashed or Livernois email tune and an SCT. My setup is a stock (except various forscan mods) 2013 SE with a 3.5 and a 6F50.

 

I wanna bring it over that 300 horsepower mark. My qualms however would be decreased longevity and increased (especially trans) wear. Is this a true statement to believe? Ive never had my trans flushed but I do a 5 quart drain and fill twice yearly to keep my fluid fresh.

 

Thanks for any input!

Our 3.5 2014 Edge is and will stay 100% stock. The 3.7 in my 2011 Mustang with an automatic transmission has long tube headers with a 93 octane tune, I 'might' be around 290 wheel horsepower. I've been running the tune for over 8 years and 31,000 miles with no negative effects. You will be 'near' 300 crank horsepower with a tune on your Edge. They are advertised to add around 20 crank rated horsepower for their sales adds :)
