quick questions: what exactly does this trackkey do?
and do I need to go buy it and have the dealer programmed for me?

nm: found the answer, it is like a software update for track use only.

Info was just posted up, available for all gt350. I read somewhere the key for the boss was $350 +$100 for install. Not sure if that was the real cost, and if it'll be around the same for the GT350. If it's that cheap, I'd definitely go for it.

302 USD for boss 302
i m guessing it will be 350 USD for gt350



TracKey is a 50 state legal aftermarket engine performance software upgrade for the 2012-2013 Boss 302 and Boss 302 Laguna Seca. It is not compatible with any other vehicle.
TracKey is sold and installed exclusively through US and Canadian Ford and Lincoln Dealers. Special equipment and training is required to install TracKey.
TracKey has been designed to optimize Boss 302 for track use and uses many of the same software algorithms and features employed in some of our Ford Racing turn-key race cars, such as the Boss 302R, Boss 302S, and Cobra Jet. In addition, TracKey also allows you to maintain the smooth drivability of the production car just by switching ignition keys.
Whenever the TracKey is used to start the vehicle, many engine control characteristics are changed to be more suitable for track use. These include:

  • Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (TiVCT)
  • Engine braking
  • Ignition timing
  • Wide-Open Throttle fueling
  • Accelerator pedal map
  • Idle speed
  • Throttle response
  • Skip-shift disable (Available for 2012 Boss 302, not necessary on 2013 model)
In addition, the following features are unique to TracKey

  • Driver adjustable Launch Control, or "2-step engine speed limiting"
  • Driver adjustable Pit Lane Speed Control
  • Lopey idle

Ford Performance Parts has a history of announcing products and then not releasing them or taking forever to do so.
