As the title says. I know you can get the lopey idle through the track cal from Ford, is this the only option these days?

Thanks.

This is who I'd try if I had any mods.

I have the Track Cal. I currently have the Boss Quad Exhaust with the Restrictors removed and stock mufflers. I have heard most all of the competition (Camaro, Challenger Etc) with different exhaust setups. Plus lots of new Mustangs. Again with different setups. I think mine sounds EXPONENTIALLY better at idle than anything I have heard in person. I will eventually go with the GT500 mufflers to turn the volume up a bit. But the Lopey Idle sounds so good in person! I also liked the factory warranty and ability to keep the Catalytic Converter with the Track Cal. Money well spent in my opinion.

I am right there with 14Glassback. I have a similar exhaust setup but with the Trackey tune (Basically the same as the Track Cal Tune but tied to a special key). The trackey tune allows me to go back to the stock tune by swapping the key. I also have the Boss Quad Exhaust, but with the QTP electric cutouts to control the amount the Boss Quads are open. Typically run the side exhaust about 1/2 to 3/4 open. With my Roush Axle backs I get a mean deep throaty tone. Nice rumble, lots of crackle and pop on deceleration with plenty of engine braking. Still it can be semi-quiet while cruising the freeway, even with the side pipes wide open. The Lopey idle is simply amazing, even does a slight movement of the car at idle. I have even had a few mechanics catch me in a parking lot and ask what cam setup I have in the car. Love the change in my car from the stock tune and rarely use the stock key. Nothing wrong with the Ford Racing tune, glad I went this route. Car is much more responsive and even bigger thrill to drive.

+1 for the Ford Racing Tunes.

Did I misread the question?

I have the TracKey. It's slick and I highly recommend it.

If I had another stock Mustang that wasn't a 2014.5 manual, I'd go with the Track Cal. It's safe and almost as slick.

But if you have mods you can't use these. I heard that Ford Performance has a patent on the lopey idle tune and Lund is the only company licensed to use it.

The lumpy idle (ghost cam) part of the tune does not increase performance, it just gives your car that old school lumpy idle of a big cam.
