I get ya, so for one thing you are saying that it would be noticeable with a 93 tune vs an 87. ...even if just slightly.

My understanding is, that if you reflash, back to the factory tune. Ford will be able to tell the system has been accessed, but not what was done.
They'll just think the battery was disconnected - so I've heard. They're gonna say "oh, we see the computer was cleared". Then you reply "yeah, I just wanted to reset things to see if the problem would go away." No problem.

Yeah really, the problem isn't that premium gas is 3.47/gallon, it's that f***ing REGULAR is $3.30! And I do seem to be getting slightly better mileage with this tune, so what the hell, so I figure I spend about an extra 7-8% on gas and I think with the tune I'm seeing about a 7-8% increase in power. Fair trade.

ACTUALLY DID THAT THIS WEEK. WENT FROM 93W/TUNE TO 89 W/TUNE AND ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS STILL PLENTY FAST, IT'S NOT THE SAME AS IT WAS WITH 93. IMO THERE IS A GOOD "FEELABLE" DIFFERENCE.

my combo is on the UPS truck and out for delivery as I type this...I can't wait! I'm going to start off with an 87 tune, then switch over to the 93 torque to see the difference. Easier for me to go that way than from 93 to 87 to see if it's worth the extra .30 a gallon - I'll probably just forget the plan and go with the 93 though! lol

I am stuck with a 91 tune. Living out here on the left coast the best we get at the pump is 92 octane. I have heard repeatedly that you should never run a 93 tune with 92 gas. too lean. So I run the 91 tune with the 92 gas. Washington State sucks like that...

Go Seahawks

Yeah, and I just got back from a business trip to Seattle, you cannot smoke there either. The cigarette Gestapo is insane in Washington. Smokes cost 6.59 per pack!

I have the best of all worlds... 93 octane $2.89 gallon, smokes $2.50 a pack, Beer $21.00 a case... and you can still buy guns at WalMart What could be better, speed, smokes, alcohol, and guns! Not necessarily in that order!
