traction control isnt legal.

there is 2 ways to do it. a time over rpm rev limiter like the msd 75611, or having enough knowlege about where what when how much, timing abd boost to use at a given time.

i am still learning. but there is no traction control (that i am aware of)
i tried the msd 75611 box (and it is for sale) but my car didnt like the way it acted.

Until tech starts looking at calibrations, which they are not going to do, people will use traction controlling methods. It may not be "traction control", but it sure performs like it. lol

"Traction control" doesnt mean **** if your car doesnt work...... "traction control" isnt some magical fix in making the car go fast.

People are using traction control, end of discussion. It may not work the way people think, but they are using it.

I have it on my ford explorer, I pushed it in and I could feel that I cut my 60's down instantly.

When you make assumptions, you make an *** out of you and umption. There are racers using boost and timing to control power from the line and down the track, and there are racers using "traction control" setups. Watch enough cars leaving at the line, you can learn alot and actually have knowledge of what you say.

im just checking here, the a davis setup like used on lynch's car is legal in outlaw fwd and sfwd?> or not? im now confused.

i just want to be right.

alo are people using a 5th wheel for anything other than datalogging? are they using it as an input?


i never said that a tuner that knows his stuff, couldnt "sandbag" the car to get it to accelerate.

where are traction control devices such as the davis setup allowed? or am i in fact mistaken?

thats about as basic an explanation as it gets but it really is that simple. put in as much power as the tires will allow at any point in time down the track. the person tuning the car has to be able to tell when the car will benefit from more or less power at a certain point during the run. so you could say the guy on the computer is the traction control system lol
