Again, I don’t think it will give you a very noticeable difference numbers wise, but I agree I do run Premium in all my vehicles (Raptor, Explorer ST) even though they don’t require it, they just run better.
No I understand that, but it isn’t that much of a gain, maybe 5-15 HP right?, so I wouldn’t expect the different octanes to get a noticeable difference in fuel economy, especially since the system is only adjusting for certain things. Like I said, I could be wrong, it just popped in my head.
Just a thought also, but wouldn’t a proper tune actually be the only variable that would change/benefit the difference in better octane. That was always the debate when stock tune is if Premium was better then the minimum 87.
It just shifts differently and throttle input is different. Doesn’t change much about the engine just auto start stop is wants to be on all the time.
Thanks man. If it helps even further had Goodyear Wranglers on the truck (same as Bronco Sas) before these K03s. Man these are 100 times better. K03s are quite while Goodyears sang so loud. Snow traction and confidence is definitely a lot better (actually spun out on Goodyears).
Have had 285/70r17 K03s on my 2003 F150 since December and here are the differences to me if the tire compared to the K02s on my Raptor.
The K03s tread is not as spaced out as the K02, and it shows because they are slightly quieter than the K02. As far as rain and snow performance, they seem...
Wiring would be a nightmare. The one Coyote swap completely failed because of that and it wasn’t even a Predator into a BRaptor. It would be awesome if you could get it done, but nobody will be able to tell you how to do it because it has never and may never be done.
I don’t think it hurts the suspension at all, unless you’re bottoming it out, it will just handle worse and the composure of the vehicle will be worse. I wouldn’t expect to much worse, but noticeablly at least.
Like in the Explorer ST, I actually like it. V6 has a unique tone that is weird to others that I like. Nothing beats the rumble of a V8, but V6 and 4 cylinders have their own unique sound.
