[QUOTE="BoostedToy, post: 1536037, member: 31712"] My truck is inching towards 125k miles, all with a Roush Stage II. Right around 100k miles, I moved to Alaska. 90 octane is premium which left me with a decision to make. De-tune the truck, which would leave with less than optimal timing advance and possibly pulley up for less boost. That didn’t sound like a good idea. Pivot to option two: Find some octane and perhaps even further dial in the tune. I chose option two. After some research, JDM and VMP both seemed to have their tunes dialed in much better than Roush. The only reliability issues this truck had at that point was shearing off the belt tensioner on a 4wd HI 1-2 WOT shift. It was nearly a guarantee it would occur each time with that scenario. That got old quick, so I just avoided 4WD launches. That took some fun out of the truck. After some back and forth, I went with VMP for a tune and pulley down to 72mm (from 75mm). JDM would have been great too, but I previously worked with VMP on a supercharged Mustang. I called around and researched octane products. The octane answer came from Boostane. Nearly 25k and it works like a champ and is very cost effective at the final octane I need (90 increased to 93). It costs around .16c/gallon. Well worth it. I’ve heard of potential to prematurely foul plugs, but it has yet to happen on mine and I pulled them once about 4K miles ago to check them out. They are a little orange (I believe MMT is the primary active component for the pre-ignition inhibition), but otherwise fine. In summary, I have had two 2013 Raptors. One NA and this supercharged truck. If you have the means, there is no decision. Default to supercharged! [/QUOTE]
