required, the axle assembly has been submerged in water, or when subjecting your car to
high-speed and/or competition use. The axle lubricant and friction modifier should be changed any
time the rear axle has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant and friction modifier should
also be changed 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).

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.

•For track sessions, it is recommended to run 41 psi (283 kPa) hot for
the original equipment manufacturer tires, front and rear.
•Depending on track temperature, ambient temperature and driving
style, you may need to reduce the starting tire pressure by as
much as 4 psi (27 kPa).
•The starting pressure may be lower in the rear tires relative to the
front tires to achieve 41 psi (283 kPa) hot.
•Reset tire pressures to placard recommended pressures before
leaving the track.
•For improved track performance, Ford recommends
,
available through Ford Racing. See your local Ford dealer or go to
http://www.trackey.ford.com for more information (M-14204-MBTKA).
•Your Boss302 is equipped from the factory with Brembo 4-piston
front calipers and unique, high-performance rear brake pads that will
provide excellent performance under normal driving conditions. Ford
recommends the following bedding procedure for race track driving be
followed.
Brake burnishing procedure for race track driving
If the vehicle has to be driven on a track (racing) or in severe driving
conditions, the following steps must be performed on a closed course,
not on public roads:
•Burnish: 30 burnish stops at 60-0 mph (96-0 km/h), 0.4g deceleration,
one mile (1.6 km) between stops. If the vehicle has more than
200 miles (322 km) on the brakes, skip this step and proceed to the
Fade stops.
•Fade: 20 fade stops, at 65-0 mph (105-0 km/h), 0.85g deceleration or
just below ABS activity, no dwell between stops
•Cool down: Minimum of five mile (8 km) cool down route, if on public
roads (no brakes) run at 60 mph (96 km/h)
•Recovery: 30 recovery stops at 60-0 mph (96-0 km/h), 0.4 g
deceleration, one mile (1.6 km) between stops
•Cool down: Minimum of five mile (8 km) cool down route, if on public
roads (no brakes) run at 60 mph (96 km/h)

Damper adjustment recommendations:
•Boss302 - Set all four dampers to position (5) for all tracks.
•Boss302 Laguna Secaedition - Set front dampers to position (5)
and set the rear dampers to position (3), (4) or (5) depending on how
smooth the track is or how much curbing the driver likes to use.
•On a rough track, set the rear dampers to position (3).
•On a smooth track with aggressive apex curbs, set the rear
dampers to position (4), but only if the driver uses those curbs.
•On a smooth track with mild FIA-type apex curbs, set the rear
dampers to position (5).
•If the turn-in portions of the track are rough, reduce the front damper
setting by one position until the Boss302 turns in on those rough
portions.
•If the rear of the car is skipping over bumps during corner exit so that
the driver has to reduce throttle input, reduce the rear damper setting
by one position until the driver can apply appropriate throttle.
Note:Restore the vehicle to factory specifications prior to driving on
public roads.
