2012 FORD MUSTANG fuel

Performance gauge- performs the following functions:
•Real time mode – measures G
force/acceleration (Note:
Requires initial calibration) See
Setup information.
•1/4 mile data including reaction
time
•0-60 mph times
•60-0 mph distances
•Horsepower -Note:This reading
will vary from advertised engine horsepower. It includes losses
through the drivetrain and other factors such as fuel octane, wind,
weight, road grade, etc.
•Setup
This gauge is intended for off-road use only (racetracks or other
controlled courses or settings).
Real time mode:
The performance gauge calculates/displays acceleration and G-forces
while in real time mode. The customer is required to calibrate/initialize
the performance gauge to ensure proper acceleration measurements
while in real time mode (see Setup section). At vehicle start up, the
performance gauge defaults to real time mode. The gauge stays in real
time mode until the user selects one of the other five operating modes.
The gauge returns to real time mode after exiting the operating modes.
In real time mode, the gauge will display the driver’s choice of
acceleration/deceleration or lateral g-forces on an LED graph and display.
Acceleration forces will be displayed on the bar graph to the right of
center. Deceleration forces will be displayed on the bar graph to the left
of center.
•Press B to change the display to the lateral axis.
•See bar graph forward/lateral high/low under Setup to change the
range of g-forces capable of being displayed on the LED.
Peak Recall – While in any mode, the gauge will record the highest
g-force values for all four axes (accel, decel, left and right).
•Press C to view these values.
•Press A to move to the next value.
•Press B to clear the value.

Horsepower mode-Note:This reading will vary from advertised
engine horsepower. It includes losses through the drivetrain and other
factors such as fuel octane, wind, weight, road grade, etc. In order to
obtain the most accurate numbers, it is important that the correct
vehicle weight be stored in the gauge (see Setup section). The gauge has
been preset with the weight preset to 3830 lb (1737 kg) and should be
modified as needed. To select horsepower mode, do the following:
1. Press MODE until “HP” (horsepower) is displayed.
2. Make sure the vehicle is at a complete stop at the beginning of your
course, then press ENTER to confirm. The display will show “CAL” to
indicate mode has been entered.
When the display reads “Go”,
1. Lightly accelerate your vehicle through first gear.
2. Shift between gears at approximately halfway to redline.
3. In second gear, (ideally at 2,000 rpm) accelerate under full throttle up
to, but not exceeding, the engine redline.
4. Let off the accelerator and safely stop the vehicle to view your results
once redline has been reached.
5. The gauge will display your horsepower results. Press B to view your
results again. See the section on viewing best run/last run/etc results.
Setup mode:(There are eight parameters that can be adjusted in Setup
mode).
To select Setup mode, do the following:
1. Press the mode button until “Sup” is displayed.
2. Press the enter button to confirm.
3. Press the exit (C button) to exit setup mode.
Vehicle calibration:
Performing this operation will be necessary in order to obtain correct
readings from the performance gauge while operating in real time mode
and performance modes. The vehicle calibration function allows the
gauge to determine its angle, pitch, and general location in your vehicle,
and to compensate accordingly, allowing you to mount it virtually
anywhere in any position, and still get accurate readings.
To select vehicle calibration mode, enter Setup as described above, then
press the A button until “VCAL” is displayed, then press ENTER to
confirm. “REDY” should display. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop on
a flat and level surface and then press ENTER. “HOLD” will display. At

TRACK PREPARATION
The Boss302 and Boss302 Laguna Seca edition have been rigorously
proven out on race tracks. Below are recommendations for optimizing
your Boss302 for a track day event.
•For optimal performance, premium fuel is recommended.
•
Change brake fluid to Super DOT 4 to improve track performance of
braking system (WSS-M6C65-A2), Ford part number (YS4Z-19542-AA).
•Install Ford Racing front brake cooling kit (M-2004-MB) to improve
brake cooling (standard on Laguna Seca edition).
•Remove rear brake dust shields to improve brake cooling.
•Install Ford Racing transmission cooling scoop (M-5025-MBR) to
improve transmission cooling (standard on Laguna Seca edition).
•During extended track sessions in extreme temperatures or
conditions, your Boss 302 may require additional engine cooling
actions. If the water temperature warning light illuminates, return to
the paddock and let the vehicle return to normal operating
temperature while idling before turning the engine off. Prior to the
next session, remove your Boss 302’s upper grille from the front
fascia. This will allow more cooling air to the radiator and allow the
car to run extended sessions in extreme heat. Visit fordracing.com for
additional parts to further enhance the powertrain cooling on your
Boss 302.
•For extended track use, Ford recommends installing a rear differential
cooler to improve rear axle cooling.
•Remove vertical rear tire spoilers at rear edge of rocker moldings.
•The Ford Racing front splitter kit (M-16601-MB, standard on Laguna
Seca edition) can be installed to improve high-speed vehicle stability
and handling. If the Ford Racing front splitter kit will be installed on a
Boss 302 without the Laguna Seca package, Ford recommends
installing the Laguna Seca edition rear spoiler in place of the standard
rear spoiler to maintain aerodynamic balance. This front splitter is
intended for race track use only and is not legal for on-street driving.
It may degrade crash performance and void the vehicle warranty. The
front splitter must be installed by the customer.
