Sam -> RE: What octane with Raptorq? (7/8/2008 9:41:26 PM)
|
I can only speak from my experience, but....
I ordered a PCM for my ''08. At the time of ordering, I asked the sales rep if the truck would run fine on 87 or 89 octane, just in case. He said, "no problem, you just won''t get the whole 40hp." Right.
I installed the Raptorq on a Friday night, and, after four attempts at resetting the security system ("May occur on some vehicles" said the instructions)
I fired up my truck to take the kids to a movie. I floored it to accelerate across an intersection, and the thing knocked and pinged so bad my kids thought dad''s new truck was broken. Bear in mind, I had a tank of 89 with a bottle of octane boost, since the computer arrived right after I filled the truck up.
I drove the truck till Sunday, and topped off with Chevron 91. Even then, it still ran crappy, and surged under part throttle. Needless to say, I shipped it back the next day.
Don''t get me started on the week it took to get my $$ back.....
