Guys, think about it, it is not watered down or changed IMO. If Ford has applied for certification do you think they are still making changes to it? If so, then every time they change one thing they would need to re-apply, does not sound cost effective to me?

 

I think the current certification is an interactive process.

 

Unless they are making changes to comply with certification

 

That I understand but there is nothing to say that they are cutting it down and changing things for the worse, it is all rumor. I doubt they would have spent so much time and money for something that was so completely wrong they needed to make major changes, let alone advertise it the way they did. These guys that put this together are pretty smart, I sure they knew what they could get away with.

I know the way government works and stupid things will come up but again unless the engineers really screwed up they (carb) will not/can not make major changes for no reason. JMHO, I could be wrong.

 

Yes you could

 

Very informative update, thanks for that P0.

 

Does anyone know if the TracKey eliminates the 155mph limiting? I doubt I would ever get there, just curious.

 

It does not remove the speed limiter or raise the rev limiter. It does eliminate skip shift but I doubt you'll want to use the red key driving around town much. Your gas mileage should be significantly worse with TracKey.

 

When I spoke to the Ford rep at Carlisle last weekend he said that CARB has a Boss with track key installed and is the process of testing it. He stated that the vehicle had to be off the regular assembly line and had to be driven over 4000 miles before being submitted to CARB. He also stated that it should be ready by late summer. Who knows????

 

This thread is like a broken record.

Cliff notes: Nobody knows anything new since February.

 

The engineer at the store...

 

I seem to remember seeing a video on here of a Ford rep working the tuning saying that the red key would basically eliminate anything and everything that electronically limits the car's performance. I could see maintaining the rev limit, but I see no reason why a speed governor would remain in effect.

 

Legally they have to, when any part is rated for a certain speed, the car must be governed at the lowest speed. Look at the veyron. This is y it's so expensive. Every part is rated for over 200 mph. Brakes, tires, rims, suspension. As I'm sure our engine and tranny can handle more, our tires and other parts can not. The M3 is governed to 170 or 175 I forget. But that's y the cars are governed.

 

Pretty sure the two-piece DS is only rated to 160mph or somewhere around there; assuming that's true it makes sense to keep the limiter.

 

The Boss 155 mph vehicle speed limit is UNaltered by the trackkey logic.

 

So give me my 49 state Trackkey NOW!

I will sign a document to promise not to drive in CA

 

CA isn't the only CARB state, your state could be one.

 

This is true. CARB (or OTC, to be precise) states include Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Delaware, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Washington DC, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maine, among others. So as much as we'd like to pin it all on California, the Home of the Bad Decision, we cannot

 

But it's so much fun.

 

Yeah but they started it.

CARB also known as California Air Resources Board.
