....sigh. Then why run it on level 3 anyways?? You run the risk of detonation and running lean if you use 87 on level 3. The timing and everything is increased a significant amount in order to make that extra power.

High Performance Program (91+ octane fuel)
This is the highest performance setting for the Evolution. The fuel injection
and ignition timing strategies are aggressively tuned to extract the maximum
performance from your vehicle without sacrificing drivability or durability.
The transmission strategy is modified to take advantage of the increased
engine performance by providing quicker, firmer shifts. Due to the high
performance nature of this setting, you will be required to run 91 octane (or
better) fuel.

Lets see some paper to back that up. If your truck was running mid 18s in the 1/4 to begin with, I feel bad for you. My truck runs 16s stock...

Is yours a 4x4? Do you have a 4.6? Do you have 117000 miles on your truck? And how do you get your times from July?
