you should return it, you are completely wasting your money!
it will do nothing for you except cost you money.
if your quad is stock or has a jet kit and full exhaust, it will run just fine on 87 pump, the only reason for higher octane gas is to reduce ping factor. if your engine doesn't ping on 87 then there is no need to run anything higher. and another thing, the octane rated at the pump is an average not actual octane ratings.

I ran cam2 in my 440 when I had the stock carb. I did notice better throttle response, but that was about it. I did like the smell it gives off though. :D
