Default Removing Traction control

anyone know how to remove the annoing traction control. It doenst even work with all the power im making. Its just an anoaince. Plus any weight off is good.

There are two lines coming toward a cylinder, then one line to the throttle body is that the TC?

You can prolly just get a throttle cable for a non-TC car and use that. Mine goes straight to the TB. You may get a light on the dash though. Just call one of the GM places and tell them you need a throttle cable for your car. Tell them it doesn't have TC.

Yes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> For a non-tcs car, the cruise is ran from a box with it's own cable. Why don't you just pull the TCS fuse?
