Default RaceLogic Traction Control??

Does anyone have any feedback on this? I've been reading up on it and
it looks like it could help with the 0 traction issue, though it reduces power to
do so but not so abruptly like a stock traction control system.
Here is the website http://www.racelogic.co.uk/traction/ . There is alot of info
under the technical tab. Any info would be appreciated.

From what i've found from researching it, it seems like its a great product. A few Lamborghini performance places carry it.

Looks like alot of RWD's use it like supra's and bimmers, I was hoping to get some fwd car feed back but haven't come up with much. Wonder why more High Hp honda's haven't tried it.

I was reading that's why alot of the Drag racers wouldn't use it, but for alot of the
high hp street cars I would think this would be ideal. I am seriously considering it.
I just hate being a guinea pig for something that costs that much.

I personally think it is worth it. but what ecu are you running currently a boost control device with staged boost is very good option as well for cheaper cost. Like neptune has speed control for boost.

Well I have a chipped P28 with Neptune.....I'm currently running a AVC-R with gear dependent boost right now. Just doesn't help I mean at 15psi I'm making over 400whp so traction is nonexistant in 1st and 2nd. With the AVC-R the lowest I can run in 1st and 2nd is my wastegate spring which is 10 pounds. At 10 I'm still over 300whp.....So I have bought a 6 pound spring but have yet to try it.

Look guys, I think alot of people out there don't know how to use a traction control system properly. Traction control should only be used to correct for bad tracks, greasy tires & a little bit of bad driver. Not an improperly balanced combination. A car can run worse w/ traction control than without. If the tire slip is to great between front and rear it'll cut power too hard almost like hitting brakes and you will not make up that time. Tire comes first, chassis 2nd, power 3rd, driver 4th, in that order of importance. Traction control can only work if those things are set up correctly in the first place.

Everything i've read about it seems to imply that everyone who used it saw improved track times. The power cut is fully adjustable via computer, so any "brake" effects are easily programmed out.

What your saying DOES apply to a lot of factory tractions control setups however, but this is a much more advanced solution as compared to that.

Problem is short of a 26" slick it's basically impossible to hook 500 WHP up on the street, you can't fix that in a FWD car.

I've driven this on a supra and it WORKS. The particular car I got to drive had a GT42R, and it controller power great. You could go WOT in the first few gears and it was seamless.

Amen brother Amen, That's why I was looking at this system, it's just not practical
to run drag radials or possible to run slicks on the streets. I guess some can argue
it's not practical to have a 500whp fwd, and I agree but it's damn fun. I would be
totally happy if I could just a good bit of traction in 1st and 2nd and this might be
my best chance.
