RE: Serious Question
So the tune keeps it off when you start, but you can always turn it back on with the switch, right? I've never driven my 'stang in the rain (hasn't really rained in Socal for nine months now 
), is it a must to keep it on if the roads are wet? What's the downside of always having it off?

for some fishtailing and some serious butt-puckering if you accelerate too hard. Especially in corners and crosswalk
paint. This isin't directed at you, butwith rear wheel drive youjust have to drive with a little common sense in bad weather.

As fas as I know, if TCS is disabled in the tune...it's OFF period. If TCS is off and you're in the rain, be prepared
for some fishtailing and some serious butt-puckering if you accelerate too hard. Especially in corners and crosswalk
paint. This isin't directed at you, butwith rear wheel drive youjust have to drive with a little common sense in bad weather.

RE: Serious Question
Its a "Drop Box" selection when they are building the tune. My street tune you have to turn off the TCS by pushing the button but on my race tune it is always off. KB wanted some way the customer to know which tune was loaded when you started the car.
Funny thing is, you still have to push a button to reset the warning because the TCS is off on the race tune, you have to push a button either way.
