Question Do I need a tcs logic.

Iam looking to buy a 98-02 SS 6-speed. If I want to make a hard launch or do a burnout without Stalling, do I realy need a tcs logic module.

As long as you turn off the TCS first, you'll be fine. Thats the first thing my friend does after he starts the car.

The only thing the TCS logic module does is reverse the operation of the switch...meaning, when you start the car, the TCS will be OFF instead of ON and you use the switch to turn it on instead of off...not really necessary if you remember to turn off the TCS!

When you sayto turn off the tcs do you mean the asr button on the dash?

Yeah, it's ASR on Camaro's and TCS on Firebirds. Same thing! Funny how GM works? A logic module isn't real expensive and will guarantee you won't forget. Believe me, you will forget at the most inopportune time...like the track or lining up next to some schmo. I'd get one if I were you.

it follows that same basic logic.

not sure if it is exactly a 555 or not, but uses the same ideas
