Default C5 traction control bypass

Does anyone sell a traction control module like the SLP unit for F bodys for a 2000 C5 auto.It turns off the TC when you start the car and then you hit the button to turn it on.I wonder if the F body module could be rewired for the C5.
Thanks

Sometimes I forget to turn the TC off when I get in the car.First of all with a big power car it hits hard and shakes the h*ll out of the car.Second if you pull up to the lights and a Viper pulls up beside you.You hit it on the green and spin,the car shuts down and guess what?You lose.
Take care.

Hold it down for 5 sec....

I dont like to refer to active handling as a savior, but I can tell you, blowing off in the 80-100 range can get you into trouble quick

God bless.

I made my own. But.. I'm an engineer. lol. After I designed the thing to turn on when I activated the nitrous, I found there are ones already available as stated above. oh well. I'm going to modify my circuit so that the timing can be switched from Traction off, to Comp mode. Just haven't gotten around to it.
If you're electronically inclined, I can send you the schematic. Not much in it... 555 timer and a FET some discretes.
