HELL I ZONA
Yesterday hit 110 deg in my part of Arizona , Density altitude was like 4900 ft . Truck felt so doggy bet it was down at least 50 hp maybe more. If i would of test drove this truck in dead heat of summer i might have had 2nd thoughts LOL. Runs good still in the mornings , i'm sure stock is very conservative on timing in boost in the heat , see how it does when it hits 120 .

Could be worse. You could live at high elevation among lots of steep hills ... but that's what boost is for.

And I still have the overheating issue on full throttle with the above mods,so I just learned how to drive the truck in these conditions.

What do you mean by overheating issue? Does it display a warning message and derate?

Didn’t you have a 14 Tremor Ecoboost too? How did that perform in its stock configuration compared to the Gen 2 Raptor in the heat?

I believe the UAE rates their fuel octane using the same method as Europe and Japan; it’s simply based on Research Octane Number (RON). In North America, octane is calculated using as an anti-knock index, which is obtained by averaging RON and Motor Octane Number (MON).

So, your 95 octane is approximately equivalent to 89/90 octane in the US/CAN. Further, MON is calculated using a higher engine speed, Preheated combustion chamber, and variable spark timing...all conditions that would affect your vehicle performance in the conditions you describe, but are not figured into the octane (RON).

Do you have 98 RON available? That might make quite a difference.
