Track Use Preparation TRACK PREPARATION The Boss௡ 302 and Boss௡ 302 Laguna Seca edition have been rigorously proven out on race tracks. Below are recommendations for optimizing your Boss௡ 302 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. 37 2012 05+ Mustang (197) Supplement, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
