There are two keys for the car. The black key uses an ECU programed for the street, and the red TracKey switches to a program for the track. The firmware changes valve overlap and many other parameters. Mine arrives 3/19.

Any engine that has a horsepower peak near 8000 and a torque peak up in the 5's, will not have much "street power", even with the VVT. Hopefully the light weight of a Cobra and the 3.73's will help out a little there.

I love it, got it yesterday. I've already removed those visor warnings, installed a fire extinguisher, removed the restrictors disks, bought a new helmet, and ordered the tranny scoop and brake duct kit.....I'll be ready for the track soon.
There's a lot of info here:
