The old butt dyno is not going to feel anything. HP isn’t what gets you moving down low and very few if any are ringing out the EB to hit the max HP curve.
OK, then-I hope that rings true, and we'll see what the old butt dyno says
. Since down here in Mex, I'm basically only using 91+, my current EB certainly feels very peppy, and hopefully, we will continue with that happy butt feeling. Cheers
it’s less than a 5% reduction in peak HP. If you aren’t ringing out your EB you won’t feel it. I promise!OK, then-I hope that rings true, and we'll see what the old butt dyno says
After starting to use 91 Octane E-Free and flushing out the system with about 3 tankfuls of the stuff my wife drove my Maverick unbeknownst of the change and asked me what I did to the truck. She said it drives more peppier than the last time she had driven it. For me this was the ultimate test. No wishful thinking involved. Of course there are many varied opinions but wifey had no dog in the fight.
I only filled my Tremor with 93 so I can’t compare but my Civic has a noticeable drop going from 93 to 87.
Stuart, did you order your Maverick in Mexico? If so, is there differences in options, spec's or anything else from those sold in the U.S. that you've noticed?OK, then-I hope that rings true, and we'll see what the old butt dyno says
Hi, No, this is a San Diego US-spec order. You are correct; the Fords sold down here have many different specs and several different models that are not sold in the US.
Well, yeah, seems lots of opinions. I started a thread quite a while ago about the lugging effect I was experiencing with my Maverick at times while driving around 35-50 mph and the tach showing around 1200 RPM. I compared the effect to driving a standard one gear too high. There were some that never experienced that effect and others claimed high octane was of no benefit.
