Video:14 Mustang GT Track key (TracKey) lope program Ford Racing
Enjoy the video... I'm very impressed with the tune. Pulls nice throughout the RPM range. The best thing about it....I still have the factory warranty ![Headbang](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/headbang.gif)

I see in the YouTube notes that the lopey idle goes into effect after 2 minutes. My question is, is that only when the car is cold, or is that every time you start the car? For example, if I pull into a car show, the car sits for a little while and then I leave, would it have to idle for 2 minutes again before the lopey idle starts, even if the engine hasn't cooled down?

Not sure about the GT track key, but on the Boss 302 after the temp gets to 170, then it's 130 seconds....how they picked that I don't know and the lopey idle kicks in. The display in the Boss says "TracKey idle enabled". I've had it kick in sooner than 130 seconds, but only after the car has been driven awhile, turned off and then driven again relatively soon.

Yeh. It would be nice if you could just start the engine at a gas station or wherever and have it immediately go into a lope. Doesn't work that way. I'm sure for emissions reasons they have to stabilize every facet of engine operation first. I had the Steeda "cam idle" tune for a while. It would go into lope mode immediately. Well, let me qualify that. First the engine would stall three times. THEN it would go into lope mode. At least the Ford Racing tune doesn't make it look as though you don't know how to drive.

The Lopey idle sounds just like a 60's muscle car with high performance cams.
Even more fun is my car now also shakes just like the 69 Z28 my brother owned back in the day.
The Lopey idle does not make the car faster but it is definitely fun.

Went to Sonic last night with my wife and son and I had the Trackey tune running. The lopey idle went into effect as we pulled up to order our food. By the time we ordered and pulled around to the drive thru window 6 employees were standing by the window with cellphones taking video and asking me to rev it. With the Boss side exhaust and GT500 axle-backs it sounds wicked.... especially when idling

Soo with all the other aftermarket ghost cam tunes, it's required to go with a catless mid pipe - why is it okay on the Track Key to have your stock cats?

Throttle response is definitely better and engine braking is definitely noticeable. I'm hoping to take the car out soon for an Auto-X event as long as the wrist is healed so I can take this cast off.

You know, I just bought my car (400 miles on it) and I notice the gas mileage has been improving each time I fill. I assume is because of some kind of break in or PCM learning. I wonder if the new tune also has some kind of learning curve associated with it?

Thanks for the feedback! I have to wait a while to get it but I'll definitely be looking for all the feedback I can find. Lap times, drag strip results, etc is what I'm hoping to find next. I'm just looking for mild bump in power while retaining the warranty.
Part of me does wonder if an off road X or H with O2 spacers would be ok running the track key. My old '13 V6 was able to run Borla long tubes and O2 spacers with no CEL's for about 500 miles before I got another tune.
