Default Tcs/asr?

If your car has either TCS or ASR and you dont have the button to turn it off, are you going to have crappy launches and never be able to break the wheels loose or be slower? How much worse are your launches, etc. eith either of those on? Any help would be great. Thanks!

Yes your launches will suck big time, and if you cant turn it off you really shouldnt get any wheelspin, as each time it does the pcm will pull timing and reduce the power to the wheels and you will be fighting to accelerate against those circumstance the entire time.

I have never heard of people not having the button to turn it off......

But yeah, traction control sucks and will KILL your cars performance, and you will never be able to dyno if you can't turn it off.

Do you KNOW your car has TCS? Mine doesn't and doesn't have the button. It was an option and mine didn't have it(thankfully). I can smoke em at will and not have to remember to hit a button.

TCS and ABS are worthless on a drag car. Remove them both. You'll be cleaning up quite a bit of space while loosing quite a bit of weight by getting rid of them.

Our kits enable you to remove everything including brackets. A proportioning valve is included to correctly bias your brakes.
