Whatever you think you will do, order a 25 the way you want it anyway. There are dealers like mine in Texas that do not require a down payment and you are NOT obligated to take it when it comes in.
Therefore it is a no risk order. There are disreputable dealers that cannot be trusted to do...
I added Sport Mode with FORScan on my FX4. I don’t seem to have this problem with 87 octane. I will try the Sport mode and compare it to the normal mode soon.
