Question How Do I Disable Traction Control?

I totaled out my 99 Camaro last fall and put my Drive train in a 2000 Trans Am.This Car Does Not move as well from a roll as my Camaro Did.Is Timing all thats involved in traction control? If so my tuner has it pulling no timing.What all can I do to get rid of it totally?Maybe pull fuses? Thanks

I did a search and came up with pulling the fuse and Jimmyblue said to disconnect the connector at the cable gizmo.Will this disable it?
Thanks

Pulling the connector will fault it out on startup.

Cutting the timing pullout in the tables, is actually
the wrong way to go. That forces it to hit "plan B"
(pull throttle) sooner. If you gave it more timing
rope then it'd go with spark cut further into it
before having to pull the cable (spark at least
doesn't upshift you).

Training your finger to hit the button, is another
option. But we all forget sometimes.

I have the thing still active but swapped to non-
TCS cables so it can't pull throttle. I run a higher
spark retard table pair and you can hear it honk
out the pipe when I get into wheelspin, but it
behaves pretty well. I haven't had ABS engage on
me yet, this way (but did, when I had faked out
the servo and tried to run down track with it on;
you wants none of that action).
