i found the traction control out the hard way also. I was in the burn out box at the drags and the car bogged and wanted to stall out. But anyways i got a SCT 4 bank chip and now when i turn the car on, the traction control is always off. In emergencys i can change the tune and have the traction control back on, but who wants that on? You cant have any fun that way.

it all depends on what type of driving you re talking about. If you re trying to do a burnout or you re powersliding of any type than you want the traction control off so it doesnt bog your engine down. IMO

i wouldn't waste time messing with it. just turn it off when you get in the car. it's not that big of a pain in the @$$ to do. plus in the rain when you're not gonna be speeding, it kinda helps....
