yeah but with it off isnt traction less? only spin tires? i would think greater traction, greater leverage to wheels, faster acceleration. understand spin wheels more with tcs off

No, it still has traction that is why there is tread on your tires.

if you know how to drive your car its not an issue. do you ever see drag car spinning their tires down the track? No cause they know how to launch

I ran better with it off, I need a tune that dissables it completly just for the track so i don't forget to turn it off.
