And I am all for Saving the Whales, and if TracKey lives up to our expectations, it might "Stop the Wails."

However Phil made these comments:
A few instructors said they were pre-production models and don't necessarily have the "final" Track Key tune. Frankly, other than a minor "lopey" idle and more aggressive engine braking I did not see any difference. But, I only got one day in the car and was having too much fun to document any performance differences.
My concern is people have their expectations too high for TK. The TK tune is not going to transform your car into a completely different car. I thought the lopey idle was more than minor and when the car I drove was warm the lopey idle shook the car. Very cool IMO. Of course we don't know what the final product will bring but I plan on buying it.
I think most of those photos are Andy's but there was a professional photographer at the event and you receive a Boss Track Attack logo flash drive with all the photos on it as part of the SWAG. The whole event was first class.

Another quote is it's a race car with a license plate. Hope this clears things up. I guess the word Track was wrong. I should of said Ford Racing calibration.
This Red Key Turns Your Boss Mustang Into A Race Car
This is Ford's TracKey, a special key available to buyers of the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 that, when used, switches the dual-path powertrain control module (PCM) from streetable pony car to 444 HP track-ready stallion. Yes, the future is now.
"Anything that could possibly affect all-out performance is deleted from the TracKey calibration," said Dave Pericak, Mustang chief engineer. "Throttle limiting and torque management – any daily driveability enhancements are removed and replaced with a pure Ford Racing competition calibration."

Had dinner with George Goddu tonight for the track attack banquet. He's a really good guy. Anyway, he said that the original track key calibration has not been revised. The programming of the ecm did need to be changed to tweak a obdii diagnostic function (per CARB's request).
Both CARB and the ford racing guys have seen the hitler track key video. They love it. A CARB guy actually sent the link to George.
The track key will be released shortly after SEMA. No specific date was given and I didn't press the issue.

Always an interesting discussion and my thoughts generally parallel with (checked out) Boss Man.
But realistically guys, what can any Ford "internal" guy say about TK other than it was generally accepted without any major changes? With as poorly executed the marketing gimic has been and as upset as most delivered Boss owners are on this issue (and I said "most"), do you really think someone is going to throw gas on the raging fire and say CARB bent them over and made them detune the original submission? Not a chance... (Even if that really happened, and I have no knowledge either way)
The party line at Ford Racing MUST now be the dual path programming was accepted "almost" as originally marketed. (599 paramaters changed instead of 600)
