Hey Gerard ,
I know you received my vote already , and while I can't say for certain it will improve you track times...........I will say that it is much easier to heat(see roast here) the tires while stageing . And the total reduction in traction control/torque management/throttle retard has got to be a good thing .I believe you can(and I do) easily make up for tire slippage without the car holding back any power . You need good rubber , drop the pressure to 20psi , clean them good(yep the roast thing again
) and launch . Good thing is you can kill it and try it both ways with the flip of the switch . You can't go wrong here . Keep the fan running switch on and independently shut (or turn back on) the traction control . Do run's both ways and see what happens . I made out better w/o any traction control . I hit 12.7 at 109mph (P.B. so far) with traction issues out of the hole . I know drag radials will drop me to the very low 12's with my mods , 11's are easily in reach with juice but as I am watching the half- shaft drama unfold.....I'm not so sure it's worth it yet so I'm waiting on the DR's. Even though it will shave time....that much traction ....and torque...may simpily not be worth it yet . If you get it I think you will like it . If I remember correctly ....we did a run together at E-town and you pulled a 13.0 stock and it wasn't exactly the perfect weather that day . I think you will see a drop in times w/o traction control...if you haven't already with your other mods since I've seen you run . If your spin-tech's aren't good for shaving time..........they still are fun to listen to....
-Mike.
