Default Traction Control Override

Hey everyone ! I just have a question.... Has anyone figured out a simple way to make traction control be OFF as default? I cant tell you how many times I have taken off next to an import and traction control is ON and screws me up. I always forget to turn it off!!! please help if you can.

I'm in the habit of simply turning it off as soon as I start the car.

I too always turn off before I put her into gear. You can have it written in your custom tune where they turn it off but you then can never turn it back on. Brenspeed told me that.

How does the tcs operate in our cars? What does the computer do exactly to regain traction?

I did that mod on my 09 after I had the blower put on. It worked like a champ!

I believe it pulls engine timing/cuts power.

Wow OK. I don't think I've turned mine off YET, and I've had my stang for over a year.
