Default EcoBoost 0-60 Time Increase?

Hey everyone, i recently bought a 2016 Mustang EcoBoost premium and I'm loving it! I chose it over a GT for insurance costs (18 year old lol) and its great as a daily. I deliver small computers for my job so i drive about 2500-3000 miles a month so Im really big on gas mileage. However i would like some extra power in the 0-60 maybe 0-40 range. Just a little of that throw you into your seat power . If i did an 89 octane tune do you thibk id have a 0-60 time closer to 4.6 or 4.7? Im a big street driver, and i love that throw you in your seat power. If not what should i do? I dont wannna destroy reliablity just a bit more power.

Who knows.. driving conditions vary too much to get precise 0-60 times.
AZ is different than MA/NH. Colder temps, different elevation, tire pressure changes...

Run your car from 0-60 and get your baseline
Set your 89 Tune and run it again...
Set to 91/93 tune and run it again...

That's the only way you'll know for sure.

In a word no, not at 89 octane. Other owners are really enjoying the Ford Performance tune installed by their dealers maintaining the factory warranty. Pretty sure you will be running 91 at that point but with an extra 100 hp on tap, what is not to like?
