[QUOTE="Rick at FMS, post: 1660571, member: 50533"] The OP asked what produces 450hp, running 87 (USA literature) or 93 as shown in the Canadian literature, then asked if 93 was necessary "to obtain those HP/TQ numbers". I found in the Ford USA site that it is needed to obtain 450hp. I am more curious what the official Ford numbers are for running 87? On a side note: I personally ran 87 in my GEN1 most of the time but always filled it with premium and my 5 gallon jugs whenever I off-roaded. On my GEN2, so far I have only ran premium in it. Why? Probably because I don't drive it much and I guess to spend more money. I mean, I got 10mpg on my GEN1 for the 6yrs/100k miles I had it, yes 10 always and mainly on 87 so I was used to spending money on gas. The GEN2 gets better gas mileage so overall I am spending the same money buying premium with better MPG, it's a wash. The delta here is about 80¢ so almost $30 more in a fill-up vs. 87.
