I did not get any tenants with the purchase of my Boss.

Sorry about that, correcting spelling and grammar is one of my OCD quirks. It drives my family and colleagues crazy)

And if no one has said it, welcome to TMS. Glad you love your Boss. A lot of us are frustrated about the TK release. It has become a great source of humor and razzing between the Boss owners and others. All in good fun ( I think)
Patrick,
Thanks for the welcome to TMS! I know it is all in fun; I am thick shelled and I did not take any comments personal.
This is the only outlet a Boss owner has to blow off some steam!
My wife is tired of me fussing about TracKey and now my puppy bites me when I say the word “TracKey”. A Boss owner has a hard life.

Mary Anne is an awesome agent, TheBlues9108. She will get back to you as soon as she gets that info for you.

Deysha,

I am starting to doubt if anyone at FCS or Ford Racing is able to answer my questions. Why the wait to announce TracKey at SEMA? Deysha, did you get my personal emails I sent you via TMS?

Heres a quote from an email from a Ford newsletter, I just got:

ENHANCE YOUR RIDE TracKey - Here's the Official Word TracKey for the 2012 Boss 302 has generated a lot of buzz on the enthusiast forums. Here's the real deal:

TracKey is an aftermarket option, available exclusively through Ford & Lincoln Dealers. The TracKey option consists of two components:

1. The download of the TracKey performance software and calibration. 2. The reprogramming of the red key to enable activation of the performance calibration.

The TracKey calibration has an MSRP of $302 plus dealer installation. TracKey works with the 2012 Mustang BOSS 302 and is currently supported in the United States & Canada. The availability of TracKey will be officially announced at SEMA on November 2nd. Official TracKey information, a video and photos are available at www.trackey.ford.com.

Not sure if I'm going for 302 plus dealer installation. i'll have to see next week at Miller if I feel it's worth it. Much more I could do with $500

Jason, with the higher elevation at MMP you won't see much of any difference in power. In fact, at sea level I think the acceleration and power are better than the TrackKey tune at MMP. I finished there on Aug 31.

I feel like taking a track key and gouging my eyes out of their sockets at this point.

It's to the point that it is comical.
Amen!

Phytrpilot- not sure of your post....WHY would you think there would be a change in engine "power"?? Ford has never claimed or stated that TK will change or alter power. Please explain what you mean or point to a TK marketing claim that power is changed.

And too remember all those TK comments owners have made based on their TrackAttach experience have been made on a "pre-certified" version of the software. Who knows what the final CARB version of the code will do for our engine.

We will do our best to answer all of your questions for you, TheBlues9108. I did receive your PM and will get back to you as soon as possible. I'm still playing catch up.

That explains why I keep getting "butt calls" from people with iPhones

My understanding has always been no change in peak power. TK is supposed to improve throttle response and maybe build some more low end torque.

Anyone who thinks it will turn it into a full blown race car will be disappointed.

I dont think it would change into a race car. But is the hype worth the price? lopey idle - cool, but not worth $500. Engine braking - nice, but I have other things I'm going to spend money on.
