Default Tuning out traction control?

I'm just wondering if it's possible to tune out traction control with the newest version of Predator tuners? Or even just to make it so that it has to be turned on and defaults to off when I start the car. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Traction control is really ABS's deal, the PCM only has
the job of pulling timing on command from the TCS
"brain". Nobody talks to the ABS and I don't know if it'd
listen. Sounds like what you want is that SLP module.

Yes I've heard of that, I think it's like $80 or so. I was sort of hoping I could get it done in the pcm progamming but I forgot that it is abs controlled. I don't know what I was thinking but it makes sense since it's just detecting wheel spin

Thanks.

Default Auto off tcs

I found this company while searching for options to have my TCS default to the off position. Easy Performance they seem to be a GTO focus company. They made this part for the GTO but they say it will work on the F-body. It works great. Its ridiculously small (see photo of the instruction). I installed it and 10 secounds after I start my car my TCS switched off. If its raining I just switch it on. I wish someone made reverse logic for the light though. Best part of the project is it cost half what others charge for theirs.
It looks just like the picture, in the car, I didn't get a picture with the console off.

Did know spelling and grammer was so important, I remember when gears heads would skip english for shop class. Oh well the metrosexuals have taken over everything.
