A higher insurance rate and higher gas prices were something that I accepted when I bought the 'Stang, (again).. of course, I was already putting premium in my WRX for 4 years by then...

From research, I found that the Predator tuner has custom tunes that get you extra horsepower out of the premium fuels. Also, I saw claims that on the RPMOutlet website that the CAI with Predator will get you up to 26/27 HP. My assumption was that some of this HP was due to the higher octane tune, while the rest was due to just the CAI. So, what I want to know is how much HP do you get if you use the CAI with 87 octane. Has anyone done a dyno with this setup? I hope I am making sense here.

Alright don_w, I think you have me convinced. Once I get the Predator, I will probably bite the bullet and flash it to 93 octane.
I was really attacted to the fact that the Mustang was designed to run on 87, unlike some of the ricers out there. So, it made me a little reluctant to pony up the extra $$. But if it gives me more horses, I'll do it.
Thanks for the compliment, Daniel60.
