TRACK PREPARATION
The Boss302 and Boss302 Laguna Secaedition 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 Secaedition).
•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 Secaedition).
•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 the round fog light delete covers from the upper
grille. This wi ll 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.
•The Ford Racing front splitter kit (M-16601P-MBA, standard on
Laguna Secaedition) 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 Secapackage, Ford
recommends installing the Laguna Secaedition rear spoiler in place
of the standard rear spoiler to maintain aerodynamic balance. The
unique lower grille from the Laguna Secaedition should also be
installed to accommodate the splitter support rods. 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.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
The Boss302 carries the same warranty as other Ford Mustang models,
which is covered in its entirety in the Ford Motor Company Warranty
Guide.
The three unique Laguna SecaPackage high performance parts (front
splitter, front brake cooling kit, and transmission cooling scoop) are
warranted by Ford Racing against defects in material and workmanship
for 3 years / 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first) from the vehicle
warranty start date; and are not covered by the terms of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty (as outlined in the Boss302 Laguna Seca – Dealer
Installation Waiver).
Warranty service for the Boss302 can be obtained at any Ford dealer
nationwide.
Ford does not recommend modifying or racing Ford vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide discusses vehicle usage and the
installation of aftermarket parts and their effect on warranty coverage.
Please see the Warranty Guide for complete information.
In the event the vehicle is intended for track use, and the loss of
warranty coverage is not of concern, the following vehicle durability
modification is required:
•Note:Ford recommends that you change your axle lubricant and
friction modifier after the initial (first) hour of high-speed operation or
if the vehicle is subjected to track or competition conditions;
thereafter changing the axle lubricant and friction modifier every
12 hours (under these conditions).
•Note:Ford recommends you change your oil and filter after your
vehicle is subjected to track and/or competition conditions.
Additionally, perform multi-point inspection and the maintenance
outlined in the 150,000 mile (240,000 km) normal maintenance schedule
of thescheduled maintenance informationafter track use. Refer to
the vehicle service manual for removal and installation procedures.
Replace with Genuine Ford and Motorcraftservice parts as needed.
These modifications may not necessarily protect your engine from
damage in competition conditions. Subjecting your vehicle to competition
conditions even with these proposed modifications may render repairs
non-reimbursable under the warranty.
