Traction Control logic Does anyone know if the traction control on F-bodies can be set in the OFF position when the car is started rather than the default on position? Can the CAGS light be programed to light as a shift light?

Cags light can be reprogramed for a launch light, that's what I have done. You can see it with your periferial vision. You may have problems with using it as a shift light, though, and even a launch light. When I did a thread on this in tune section f-body guys were having problems, but I can't remember what it was. HP Tuners is how I did mine, many parameters to play with. Ther is a spot to turn on shift light, then I disabled all gears except 1st, if I remember correctly. I have it set at 3800rpm now, but am going to change it to 5500rpm. you might check tune sect and see if you can find the thread, I may have started it?

Until John gets the hang of driving/racing it might be best to leave the TC the way it is. When he's ready we'll change it over unless I've lost it and *I* need to keep it for awhile.
Naw, that'll never happen.

The SLP module sounds like a no brainer although installations sounds pretty complicated for me.

I was referring to the TC module. You take the switch out of the dash & plug the SLP module into the back of it....I don't have enough pedals in my car to know anything about CAGS.

I'd love to have a launch light as it's hard to watch tach, starter, tree and the blonde in the bleachers all at once!

I tried enabling the shift light yesterday with the controls and nothing lit up so I don't think on the F-bodies it relates the "shift light" with the cags light as it does in the corvettes
