Default TCS removal/questions

Im sure someone on here knows, so my question is how hard is it to remove the TCS from my car, what needs to be done, how much weight is it worth, do i have to play around with the PCM? I always click it off anyway so i never even use it, and in that spot i could probably put some fighter jet style switches for like a lineloc/waterpump or whatever. Any imput would be appreciated. Thanks.

Take it to a tuner and have him shut all that crap off in the pcm.

Traction control = slicks

There is a TCS module that bolts onto the drivers side frame rail in the engine bay of the car. You can get to it from underneith the car on the dirvers side right above wherethe AIR pump used to be.

Removing the module on the frame rail, running a manual throttle cable instead of the TCS cable, and removing the TCS module near the battery all adds up to about 12-14lbs...
