Damn, that **** is expensive.

$600 is cheap for traction control.. think about the benefits

That thread is good but wouldn't using the front wheels as a reference not be optimal in a drag race setup as you could lift the front tires and not be losing traction.

Using the front wheel speed sensors is just an option

I realize that. Just referencing that for anyone more towards racing.

Not towards racing...towards drag racing only, at venues and under circumstances where front wheel lift is likely.

The Holley TCS setup does look like it is primarily aimed at drag only though because it only uses driveshaft speed to guess whether there is traction or not

That is what I was wondering as I am going to be getting the Dominator and will only be using it for Drag racing. Only corner I plan on taking is to the return road.

We were trying to get it working on my buddies 88mm LS9 turbo RX-7 and were told to get the boost by gear working and figure out how much power it can hold in each gear with light spin.... then activate the traction control.

Otherwise the TC pulls way too much timing and kills performance. It isn't as simple as turning it on... set the slip % and away you go.

If you want simple for the end user...relatively speaking, Racelogic is probably the best out there.

Almost any traction control system will require some effort to set up and optimise. There isnt any easy way around that, and of course settings may vary depending on traction available. ie tyres, wet, dry etc etc

As there is no real slip detection with the holley using only shaft speed, again it will take lots of trial and error to dial it in so it works efficiently.
Probably more so than a system using actual wheel slip vs driven/undriven.

But I think most TCS systems are largely safety features, or features to make a car easier to drive fast than ultimately systems designed to achieve the fastest possible acceleration.

Although some more advanced systems could be used for that purpose, but again given the huge variable that is traction, it will take some dialling in.
