tuner said there is more to the launch function than just the clutch release part of the tune and you have to have a tuner activate

as im buying the track key programing this is a mute point to me, i have a friend with a 2003 cobra, every time he took it in they would check it for uneven tire wear to sea if he was doing burnout......
anyways i have an aftermarket tune also..... CAI.... mufflers.... the CAI required it made the motor run lean, if something breaks its simple you put your stock stuff back on and put the stock programing back in, if you can do this as a mustang owner that wants to play alittle...... maybe you should buy a vette or BMW

I was simply stating the obvious that with TracKey I will at least have a warranty should the programing cause any issues with my car... unlike the other after-market tunes. Secondly, I chose the Boss because it's what I WANTED. I have not said or stated that anyone should follow my lead and just stick with the TracKey tune. I could care less what you do with your car nor would I suggest what you should drive. Had I wanted a Vette or a BMW... I certainly could have. I have been driving Mustangs since I was 18 ('86 GT, '88 GT, '90 LX, '93 GT, '96 GT, '98 GT, '05 GT, '10 GT Grabber Blue, '10 GT Red Candy and my current Boss) so I am not new to Mustangs or modding them.

Wrong...
We've only been discussing this for a whole year, the dealer can see flash counts.

Guys, the tuning and visibility of a tune subject has been discussed ad nauseum. Please keep this on topic.
I'm happy to see that tuners are starting to figure out the ECU more than before. I still think the SCT flash tool is VERY primitive compared to other solutions in the aftermarket world, such as the Cobb Accessport, Bullydog, etc. I'd like to see the "next-gen" flash tuners have more ability than the current, with things like launch control and no lift shift integrated in the system.

i've not seen the discussions, not all of us have been on this site for years. anyway i'd like to see more tuners too with new features. i assumed the lack of features was a result of limitations in the car ecm. this tuner has a lot less available to change in options than the one for my 05 did. ive been told that was due to the tuners being locked down on the new cars due to the cyl 8 failure issue.
Just set the idle to 5000 rpm, lol

and if there is new crap in the computer that lets them see the flashes oh well, if there gonna try to void my warrenty im sure all the rubber i miss in the undercarriage after my drag races wont give them a reason at all.......
my best is 11.905 at 117MPH new england dragway oct 28, 60ft 1.785
now i just need to find a track day i can go to so i can drive this thing like its ment for
back on topic... every year tuning software gets better and better, these guys had some great ideas to use....... i cant wait for a 2 step to improve my consitancy
