Thanks for all suggestions though helps a lot.

I'm in the same boat as you. That's the only thing I really don't like about technology, any little thing you do you have to get it tuned

Not all tuners that'll do it on the street have/use info to get all the real time information of the car.

I'm just saying I've had bad experiences with street vs dyno tunes.

So you don't think the factory knock sensors compensate for it by reducing timing?

Yes, which allows you to run 87. Hell, the manual says to run 87

Perhaps I should have clarified my statement a bit further by adding in for "optimal performance". I didn't buy a sports car to reduce its performance level, but that is just me. Carry on.

Ecoboost says the samething in manual.

You could always take it else where to get an average with the dyno numbers. Mine bone stock with absolutely nothing on it made 382/360 at HPP and then after Airaid CAI and catback im sitting at consistant 382/385 read from TS's dyno twice at the 2nd numbers.

Thats interesting Dan. However those wheels look so good man your at 400hp in my mind just as a selection bonus lol

LOL, yes you should have. I don't race mine every time I drive it. Unlike you, I drive mine every day

So I guess I don't really need the extra 10hp that 93 gives me. I know I know, a few cents doesn't really matter but in my head it helps out. I'M POOR!!!!!! Haha
