RE: traction control
maybe somebody can tell me the truth about this:... I have heard that unless you cut off the trac with a tuner that pushing the button doesnt unleash the beast completely, So far I think that is true, compared to my friends car that has it shut off, to mine which I turn off He seems to be gettin more power and smoking out alot more...and this me refering to when I drive both cars.. is there any truth to this?

RE: traction control
The factory traction controlhas the ability to dothree things. It applies braking to the spinning tire(s), retards ignition timing andshortens the pulse width to the injectors. On a N/A engine, (whether it works or not or if you like it or not) , it's not going to hurt your car. On a F/I engine, having the traction control enabled is dangerous. When the computer shortens the pulse width to the injectors under boost a very lean A/F ratio can occur. Lean A/F ratios are very prone to detonation, (pinging), and can cause piston/rod failure. Not a very pretty scenario if you ask me.
I personally like the T/C on my N/A engine, but I will be permanently disabling it after the KB goes on.
That's just me though....................
