Another point to ponder is that the 1st gen 3.5EB in the F-150 is rated at 365/420 on 87 octane fuel. The Lincoln Navigator with the same engine is rated at 380/460 on 93 octane fuel.

If this is still the case, as we haven seen what fuel achieves the 375/470, we could be looking at a 390/515 engine on 93. . . if indeed 87 yields the new output, though I don't see them changing the game plan.
Does the first gen EB in the F150 also run better on 93? Obviously the Lincoln is tuned for it, or perhaps has different tunes depending on what octane level you are running, but does the F150 also have a separate tune for 03 octane?

If so, that would be news to me, as that would be quite the bump in power from simply running on 93.
