My Boss should be at my dealer by the end of the week. I ask my dealer about the track key and they said it would come with it. I told them about what I had read, that they had to have the software. They went to checking into it and now are scratching there heads. Suppose to be finding out what is required. Would call when they got some info.

Agreed. I just got a note from my dealer that they talked to Ford Racing today and the TracKey is not available yet and there's NO ETA! I wonder if that's what is holding up the cars? Wouldn't think so since it's after-market, but it isn't really going to feel like a Boss without the TracKey.

It will still be a 444hp Boss, with or without the TracKey. I'll gladly take delivery without the software being immediately available, I'll just go for the TracKey download when the dealer gets it. Until then, maybe the idle won't be so lumpy and maybe the launch control will have to be done by my two feet, but a Boss is a Boss.

Can anyone find the link on Ford Racing's site to get this info?

Not trying to be insensitive Rick. It's just that there are a number of things you have to be willing to put up with to live in CA to enjoy the mostly year round nice weather. Since 90% of us don't have to deal with CARB, it's just frustrating that they would hold it up for us. Hopefully it won't take until mid-summer and they're just covering themselves......

I didn't take it that way. Seriously this stinks. Why has Ford waited this long? Do the other tunes that FRPP sells have to pass CARB? This should have been ready the day the cars were delivered. Hopefully they are stating Summer to lower expectations so it's easy to exceed those expectations.

I thought the reason it wouldn't be part of the original sale was because of emission concerns. Now that it apparently has to pass CARB, why can't TracKey come from the factory?
