The popping sound on decel through the GT500 mufflers just about disappears on the stock tune, the exhaust overall sounds much better on the Track Cal tune.
In regards to the A/C though, it definitely performs better on stock tune. The air temp coming out of the vents stays consistent, on the Track Cal tune you can feel it fluctuating.

Wow you don't realize how much the stock tune sucked until you flash back to it. Less mid-range power, worse throttle response and without the engine braking it feels like the car wants to keep going forward when you switch from accelerating to braking.

I agree on the performance and drivability of the stock tune, it does kindof suck. Definitely noticeable when switching back and forth. I haven't noticed any huge differences in the AC but I will pay closer attention and see if I notice anything "weird".

It is up to Ford to prove your bolt on caused the failure. So thier you go Magsun law applies but if dealership wants to fight you then, you'll need a lawyer

I was very pleased with my GT as stock with GT500 mufflers except for the lagging throttle response until I had my TracKey installed.
I have driven with the stock key for about 30 seconds since the TracKey install and will never go back.

My buddy has a 12 Boss & he punched out the restricted plate in it to get better flow but with track key I was told if you have a GT then it could void ur warranty but also spoke with SVT people & they said anything you bolt on

Thought on a/c cycling
I mentioned the A/C issue to Ray right after installing the track key and he stated he can't see how it would be affected by the track key but after putting almost 300 miles round trip on my car this weekend it has to be related. My A/C immediately started having issues right after the install and this weekend kept cycling from warm and humid to cold and back n forth. Especially in traffic when the car in neutral. Going to try the stock key all week to make sure its not a A/C issue only.

I did my update for the TrackKey on Saturday. Drove it about 120 miles over the weekend. Check the readiness codes this morning and all were complete, espically the catalyst. So looks like every thing is good here.

I have been a constant lurker on this thread and finally got enough confidence to order trackey. I received it today. I have an appointment scheduled for install in about a week and a half. My preferred dealer only has two techs that can install it and they had no availability this week. Bummer. I owe a big thanks to all you early adopters!
