call me a liar, but the dyno does not lie. :Grenade:

A dyno isn't a good tool to measure stuff like this, you need a fuel grade test. Too many factors differentiate on a dyno, the ambient air temp., humidity, dyno model, dyno calibration, tune on your particular vehicle, and so and so forth.

Exactly what Tejas said. There are WAY too many variables to use a dyno to measure that. Were the dyno runs done on the same dyno on the same day with the same (or similar) atmospheric conditions, comparing gas from two separate tanks?

I personally don't see any point in running anything above 87 in these trucks. It's not like your throwing boost at them or any crazy amounts of timing causing them to knock. My cobra I have to run at least 93 with a bottle of torco or 2 depending on what tune I run.

You'll see about 1.5mpg better gas mileage. I haven't done the math to know if it's worth it but it makes me feel better inside. Lol

Someone asked me once why I ran 93. Laughing, I explained it gave me a little better gas mileage. They asked why I was laughing and I said it brings me up to 13.5mpg city. Lol
