Trackey for manual 2014 GT's manufactured after 7/1/2013
This is a nice way around voiding a warranty due to a tune. If you're fortunate to have a manual mustang gt built after 7/1 then this may be a good option for those who are concerned about warranty coverage.

It just worked for me.
I'll try again. It may be an iOS issue.

My view is that the warranty coverage is the same as the Procal, which will add actual power, plus exceptional driving feel, not just change the driving feel alone, as this item claims.

It's changing the fuel mixture and timing so it is adjusting the fuel/air table and timing curve like a procal would. It doesn't make any power claims but there has to be. A benefit because that's all they do in a tune is adjust fuel/air and timing curve.

Saw that a while back somewhere in this forum... I talked to my Ford dealer back in January and they indicated it would be available sometime after 4/1/14... So, hopefully the link will allow you to buy it soon.
I was told it will cost about $300, and requires an hour of dealer shop time to install. Dealer guesstimated at around $400 total to update the car. My build date is right, have a manual tranny, I think I am in. I just keep watching the website.

It's NOT a power upgrade. We've been down this road before, with the Boss cars. Makes them sound cool, more aggressive but, no consistent, repeatable power benefits.

really...don't you think Ford would advertise this if it was the case. What advantage would there be in keeping it a secret?

if it made power claims, why wouldn't they just say so?

I am not sure. If you read through the boards the Boss owners are complaining of pinging under acceleration just as the folks running procal tuners. That said I would definitely say the track key is making changes to the tune.

I do tend to agree with the others that think the Track Key will yield real results too but it is interesting that there is no specific HP or TQ increase quoted.
Someone said "we've been through this with the Boss" did someone prove that the Boss Track Key results in zero power gains?

Does a Ford dealer have to install the ProCal tune in order to insure no warranty issues?

I'm getting mine installed at a dealer next week!
Side note all of the people that are having pinging issues with the procal tuner, have other modifications, like cold air intakes, off road H pipes, and such!
I bought the ford power package with the GtT 500 mufflers, and tuner.
I have not heard of anyone that is running just those parts and 91+ octane having any pinging issues, but I will find out next week!
I will keep you updated!

I had the TrackKey installed on my 2012 Boss and never had any issues. Never really saw any power gains and none were mentioned. The Trackkey was all about engine braking and such for track use..... oh, and the really cool lopey idle when the car warmed up.

Well the link is now activated. Costs more than was told, but it is now available.
