Default Dry 100shot and forgetting to take traction control off

What would happen, say if you were driving and you hit the gas but forgot to take the traction control off. This is a NX dry 100shot, with window switch. I was just wondering would it just go lean, or would the window switch sense that the rpms are getting lower and cut off at say 3200 were it was to be activated. Just curious, or would it just go very lean and blow ????

Thats a good one, never tried it, but I know a FPSS would help it live.

I have a link to a ls1 vette that runs 11.xx with traction control on and run crap tires. I have also done this a few times and had no problemos.

Ya that is what I kind of figured, not that I would want to do it on purpose, but I am sure that it will happen.

I don't forget in my Z06, cause I have the Laptrax. It auto puts car into comp mode when ever I turn key on. I still can over ride and turn trac control on with button if weather says I need it.

It's harmless with a dry system.

Doesnt the traction control cut fuel (like the rev limiter) when it engages?
If so wouldnt the lean condition hurt the motor?

Nope, no fuel tampering with traction controll.

If I remember right, it just pulls timing. No Fuel.

I didnt think so, I believe the traction control works with the brakes on my car.with some cars It's the brakes and timing.

The traction control reacts differently for the drive by wire and the cable. The GTO breaks traction and the pedal pushes back at me. If I was to try to run the 1/4 mile with it on, I would turn high 14's.
