The fuel injection system is entierly redone on this car. As is the timing computer. The car has a system that can tune the engine to the octane rating that is put in the car.

Engine performance is further enhanced through the use of an innovative adaptive spark ignition system, new for the 2008 Mustang. The system can sense, within a few seconds, what type of fuel is being injected into the motor and adjusts the spark to provide maximum torque at any given speed - and as much as 10 pounds-feet more between 1,000 and 4,000 rpm. Bullitt can run on either premium or regular fuel. Ford recommends premium fuel for optimum performance, but the adaptive spark ignition will adjust the spark to burn regular fuel without damaging the engine.

It was written up in one of the articles on the Bullitt but there wasnt much detail, from what i read it was tuned to run premium gas but can be tuned down for lower grades also. It was able to add some spark to get some more torq....kinda nice but I would want it tuned for the 93 oct and the tune maximized for that like our tuners do

but being tuned for 93 and being able to retard timing for 87 isn't the same as being able to adjust for ANY oct you put in
If you go and put in 104oct will it fully advance the timing (probobly not It'll reach the 93 timing and stop there)
but until more info about this is found we can't be sure ether way

The only thing I want from the Bullitt is it's Shifter Bezel, where can I get it?!

"The subtle stuff starts with revised programming of the engine control computer. First the redline has been bumped up 250 revs to 6,500 rpm. Second, a "dual knock" strategy in the fuel map and ignition programming allows the engine to run on either regular or premium fuel — with the V8 making the same peak power either way, but with a slightly more generous torque curve when burning the good stuff. Add in some revisions to the throttle's responsiveness and the result is an engine that actually feels more eager and more capable than the addition of just 5 percent more horsepower would suggest."
