Depends how you want it to work and what speeds and slip targets it's set to work within.

But yes a wheels up scenario can affect how it would work.....on the other hand, wheels up may simply allow wheels to free spin, driven wheel speed will get faster it may see this as slip and reduce power allowing front wheels to come down. So it could behave as excessive wheelie prevention too.

Just depends how configurable it all is and how you configure it. Some systems allow you to use GPS speed as an undriven wheel speed source so if you thought wheelies would pose a problem with front wheel speed, that could be another option.

This system will not work if the front wheels hang. It measures front wheel speed vs. rear.

This particular setup is wheel speed vs wheel speed. If the fronts are lifted it will pull timing. You can tell it how much so its up to you how effective it can be. This setup is for cars with sorted suspension/roll racing. Since my car squats and goes i think this will be very beneficial. It can be setup with a time delay etc. But that would kind of defeat the purpose since most people spin on the hit.

I just want to start off with saying that the job you did is amazing, the car is extremely clean and you can tell the car was built the correct way. The twin turbo setup is one of the best looking ones I've ever seen. As well as how clean and tucked the engine sits in the car.

Lol yeah it's gone to a guy who will never race it 😩 that big Kleib video is BADASS! The reason for selling is I'm moving out of the country for work. I took a job in Trinidad&Tobago. Traded in fast car life for the beach life!
