Thoughts on 87 octane tunes
I wanted to see what you guys have to say. I've been tuning Ford's since 2005 as a side business. I had a dyno shop for about 4 years. Mostly I just tune boosted mustangs. Generally I tell customers that 87 octane tunes are pointless on mostly stock manuals, but may be worth it on autos. I'm thinking I'll make a couple minor changes, but it will be far more conservative than what you'd get from most sct dealers. I'll probably disable the 4-3 shift over 2300rpms.

I've been running a 87 tune from 5Star since 2010. I absolutely love it! I told him I drive it like a Nascar so the tune reflects that, the main change you really feel is the transmission will actually do what I want it to now instead of being a total slush box.
That said It dropped my MPG over stock, but I'd rather have something thats fun to drive verses 2 MPG I lost.
