Finally made the switch!!

As much as I loved my 06 v6, I've wanted the 13 gt since it came out and I finally got the chance to get one! She's only got 17k miles and already came with a magnaflow cattes x pipe and (i think) pypes resonator tips! I call her the reaper! Haha

The only question I had was tuning, I know I can find a bunch of threads on it but I want to keep my warranty on the driveterain so how is the ford racing tune? And what's up with this track key? Thanks for the help guys!

If it has an xpipe now, it should already be tuned.

I don't think you need a tune if the xpipe is catted.

If she's a 13 then Trackey is off the table, it only works for late-production 14's. But the Ford ProCal has a TrackCal package that gives you the same Trackey map but in a flash package instead of using a different key.

I think the TrackCal is pretty attractive. 60ft-lbs at 1500 rpm thanks to disabling the torque management will make the car feel a ton faster on the street. Peak gains of 16hp and 7 ft-lbs are nice too. Lopey idle...yummy. More agressive engine braking...I like that. More aggressive throttle mapping...meh...I prefer e-throttles to mimic a cable. 1:1 relationship. Though I'm sure that you could set that up since with TrackCal you've got the tuner. You can also use that tuner to change gear ratios, adjust for bigger tires, etc.

You won't have the mapping support of an aftermarket tuner as you build your car, and I believe with that X-pipe you may already have some hidden power in there that an aftermarket tuner could pull out.

Congrats on the new car, and lets see some pics!

Congrats

Congratulations on acquiring a 2013 GT. I have recently purchased a pre-owned 2007 GT but am keeping my 2005. 4.0. Now I can say I have both S197 models.
Just have to figure out how I drive two Mustangs to local car shows.

I think you mean HALF the S197 models, not both. They made Boss 302 and GT500 models in S197 form...though I heard they weren't very good and don't actually matter.

Well my mobile app won't let me upload pics so those will have to wait lol but thanks for the advise guys, so it would you guys say the ford racing tube is worth the 600 in the sense that it's a noticeable difference?
