Let's face it, everyone following this thread is hoping that it's a simple erroneous CEL and the vehicle damage to be unrelated but I think you are right to retain some healthy skepticism. I can't be the only one who still wants this thing but needs more comfort that it won't hose my brand new machine. Probably gonna need at least a year with no reported problems for some of the more risk averse among us.

From the Track Cal instructions: "Track Cal changes many engine control characteristics to be more suitable for the track, including: • Ignition timing • Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (TiVCT) • Wide-open throttle fueling • Engine braking • Accelerator pedal map • Idle speed • Throttle response • Cooling fan activation temps"
Are all of the above changes identical to the original Performance Cal or have there been improvements?

Ray, is this correct? I guess I can live without launch control and pit lane speed control... From the Track Cal instructions: "Track Cal changes many engine control characteristics to be more suitable for the track, including: • Ignition timing • Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (TiVCT) • Wide-open throttle fueling • Engine braking • Accelerator pedal map • Idle speed • Throttle response • Cooling fan activation temps" Are all of the above changes identical to the original Performance Cal or have there been improvements? __________________
I asked Mike about this on the phone (same Mike in this thread) and he said the track cal is built from scratch however designed to be identical other than lopey, launch, and pit speed.

Yes it has the same performance gains as the power upgrade, then includes the extra features.

it would be nice for the update to allow for a default lopey idle off. it seems like it uses a little more gas and dont want to manually turn it off every morning when i use the car for commuting.
for us trackcal guys, an option on the tool to select which way we would like the idle to default would be great, because we cant switch between tunes as easy as the key people.

After many more miles, the computer must have learned more and i no longer notice a big difference in gas mileage or smell with the lopey idle on.

Are the members of FRPP here going to let us know when the revised track cal is available? I called FRPP today and the tech told me to watch the forums to see when the revision to the cal will be out. I was told not to buy the unit until the change has been made to them. So I am patiently waiting and I hope this will be one of the places that the info is posted.
Also for the people that already running the track cal unit how are they going to ge the updated info into their vehicle?

What a waste of a day man. Well, I called them today, spoke to Steve and he contacted Ford Racing and emailed me the voucher code.
It's amazing to see how many people at Ford dealerships and even at Tasca didn't know what a track key was.

This happened to me as well. It is something ford racing is aware of. You need to talk with tasca or ford racing (tasca will have to call ford racing) and they will give you a voucher number over the phone. Either way ford racing is closed during the weekend.
I went through this too

I think you got the wrong guy lol. My cats aren't messed up and I don't have the track cal. I have the track key. But yeah they said that Ford racing was aware that many of their track key packages did not include the vouchers in error. And they are simply giving customers vouchers as they call in.
Will try to get this done on Saturday once again.

Hi Ray, I was very glad to see that you had responded to my No Voucher situation. I called Tasca and the contacted you guys and was able to get me a code via email so I will be going to the dealer again on Saturday.
Question, I read earlier in this thread about a software update etc because of the errors or something along those lines. I have the track key not the cal for my 2014 Gt. How will we get the update? Also, I have to call you guys to register my track key, is this for the warranty? Just asking because this was not explained to me when I purchased this.
What tool were you going to have to me by Tuesday? or is this a misunderstanding?
Thank you in advance Ray.

Lol. Terminology got crazy when the track cal came out. People used to call the FRPP tune simply the procal saying, hey I just got the procal, implying that they got the performance tune. In actuality the procal is the little blue device that loads the tune. Saying that now would lead to, ok, which one? Performance or track?

Ray/Mike, I assume if all goes well and the revision is done late Wednesday, when badgt goes on Saturday, the dealer will automatically download the new version?
Just trying to help circumvent further frustration for him.

Do you actually feel a performance gain? I know it doesn't do much for HP from what I hear but acceleration, engine braking etc. The sound alone from what I have seen on youtube are worth it lol.
Wish you didn't have to wait 2 minutes for it to activate though.
