Boss 302 TracKey

I have s/n 424. I finally got the TracKey "programed" last Friday. Just returned home from Injected Engineering who put the car on their dyno. Was very disappointed. The RED key max power was 379.70 and torque 340.15. The BLACK key was 382.45 with torque of 341.07. 4 passes (2 ea) and the curve were very similar. Was (is) the TracKey just hype or maybe was mine not programmed correctly? The top speed was 154.6 in 5th gear.

I talked to Ford directly and they said they had released the the info 2 days before I called. The dealer confirmed and I took the car in to have it programed last Friday.

So your stateing that the Track Key (Red Key) made less power than the Black Key. In order to get the full Track Key experience you also need to purchase a bridge. I have two for sale....

BTW Ford has never stated TracKey has more peak HP or torque or that it will even improve lap times.

BDavidson, when you put your red key in the ignition, do you see the dashboard readout that is shown in the picture at the top of this page?

http://trackey.ford.com/trackey/

It'll only take a minute to check it - we'd all appreciate it if you would tell us what you see

I have read a lot of releases anD have never seen any literature stating more HP or TQ from TracKey. I think it changes the torque curve and alters throttle response and engine braking. If anyone had it installed I think they would notice the drastic change in the idle.

My dealer contacted me to ask if I was going to the Track Attack and to let me know they will call me the minute they have the red key software available to install.

Thanks for checking -

Looks like you'll have to wait a bit longer. Just like the rest of us

I wish all dealers understood the process, and did not mislead customers.
