I'm not sure if ECUTEK found the memory location where timing is stored. If they did, we can look at the difference between the exptected timing and actual. See if the timing is pulled with 87 octane once pinging is detected. The Turbo Subaru's have a software tool called Learning View that does this.

You must have some really shady dealers around you.... The Mustang also isnt running the same compression ratio nor the same type of fuel injection set up.
