[QUOTE="TheCPE, post: 10888515, member: 124065"] Yeah I'm sure you could start too high and that could spell trouble. But that begs the question what is too high and how close is the factory tune to the ragged edge? Ford has to warranty the factory tune for 60k miles so I'd imagine they aren't even close to the danger zone pertaining to how much timing can be pulled in order to get it back super safe for 87 octane. So if you are running 93 and have an additional 5 degrees of timing you don't need to be able to pull the timing back as far as the factory tune because you have an extra 6 octane. I think? :D As far as relying on them, I hope tuners aren't. I agree it is probably better to produce a tune that for the most part will never need retarding except for suboptimal conditions. Which is no different than when someone puts 87 in the tank of a stock 5.0. [/QUOTE]
