Ghost cam tune???

[Sabtaj1]

Ok, So I am kind of blown away by this whole "Ghost Cam" tune thing the mustang v8 and v6 has going on. I first thought "WOW, those cams sound amazing". Only to find out its from the "TUNE" WHAT??!!??!! You have got to be kidding me! Anyone know if this will be possible in the future for the Flex/Sho? I imagine it would be something to add to your existing tune as it just messes with the initial idle/cam indexing and that's all. You have to hear it for yourself. I just had to vent about this cause I could not believe its not cams (butter).

THOUGHTS???

Waaaaayy took much noise for me. The beauty of the SHO is its ultimate sleeper status. Unless you truly plan to hot rod the car the track on a regular basis, seems like over kill to me, for my taste anyway.

I agree, but I was just really surprised that it was only a tune and not cams.  The exhaust on that thing is crazy loud.  Like open headers.  But I chose the louder videos so you could hear the cammy-ness the tune makes.

From what little I have gleaned:

• the tune is for idle conditions
• needs TiVCT (Ford) tech to work
• catless exhaust with x-pipe is highly recommended (or required?)
• some have reported occasional timing chain rattle with the tune loaded

Ford has their own version (Boss TracKey)

TracKey and Track Cal are Ford Racing exclusive calibrations that provide added functionality to 2013-2014 Mustang GT's with manual transmission.  TracKey is also available for 2012-13 Boss 302 owners part number M-14204-MBTKA

Both calibrations include these exclusive features:

• Driver adjustable Launch Control, or "2-step engine speed limiting"
• Driver adjustable Pit Lane Speed Control
• Lopey idle
• Improved engine performance- Up to 60lb-ft at 1500rpm & peak increases of 16 hp and 7 lb-ft on 93 octane fuel

TracKey or Track Cal - Which is right for me?

TracKey provides the customer a unique key that activates the calibration once it has been installed.  TracKey is sold and installed exclusively through US and Canadian Ford and Lincoln Dealers.  Special equipment and training is required to install TracKey. 

TracKey is available for 2014 Mustang GT (manual transmission only) built after 7/1/2013. The vehicle build month and year are located on the Mfg. by Ford Motor Company decal located on the driver side door jam.

Track Cal is supplied via our exclusive Pro-Cal flash tool.  It is always active but lopey idle can be turned off.  Available for all 2013-2014 Mustang GT's with manual transmission. 

How do TracKey and Track Cal work?

TracKey and Track Cal both contain exclusive calibration features designed for track use and derived from the same software algorithms and features employed in Ford Racing turn-key race cars such as the Boss 302R, Boss 302S, and Cobra Jet. 

Engine performance is similar to the calibration available in the Ford Racing M-FR1-MGTB kit and modifies several PCM parameters including:

• Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (TiVCT) 
• Engine braking 
• Ignition timing 
• Wide-Open Throttle fueling 
• Accelerator pedal map 
• Idle speed 
• Throttle response

TracKey and Track Cal for Mustang GT

• Alter several thousand lines of code and several hundred calibration parameters. 
• Are the only calibrations of their type that have gone through the rigorous Ford Racing test procedures. 
• Are a 50 state legal aftermarket engine performance software upgrade for the 2013-2014 Mustang GT with Manual Transmission (TracKey only available on 2014MY build date after 7/1/2013 date 

NOTE:
Federal and state laws prohibit any person from installing aftermarket add-on or modified  parts prior to the sale of a new motor vehicle

So it seems Unleashed, LME, etc could add this to their arsenal, but probably do not want to overlap Ford's product line in this manner?  They could provide greater insight on why the "ghost cam" isn't popular for Ecoboost motors.

I had one on my 2012 Mustang GT.  It was cool sounding at idle, but to drive with it was a PIA.  Coming to a light and having to stop in an auto sucked as it wanted to jerk and surge.  Manuals seem to be alot better with it.

I was running LT Headers and Hi-Flo Cats.

It ranks up there with Brembo Caliper covers.

I like the exhaust set up on the 2015 Coyote ! best sounding 5.0 I've heard, but no info on the set up
