If you had a car that made too much power down low, could you simply decrease spark timing down low to help reduce traction problems?

Yes you can...But I think you will be fine with your stuff 
.
Worse case you can adjust the boost controller to slow the rate at which the boost comes in. If its a blitz you can even scamble boost based on time in seconds. Example channel 1 is set to 12 psi and scramble enabled. you set the time for 3 seconds and the level. so, You could do 6 psi for 3 seconds then it hits full boost.
Problem more likely will be traction up top at full boost. Thats a bit spooky and why I have been trying to optimize the traction control model.

Both..
You can do quite a bit to make the tcs allow a more agressive application of power and when it does you can minimize the severity of application of the model.
and, for us turbo guys we can play with the boost comtrol too

For an M6, what setup are you using on the LS1Edit TQ Control Tab?
Interested in all your tweaks, but I've been focusing on TCS Retard vs. RPM lately.
TIA!
P.S. C5 TCS is applied via Ignition Timing and Throttle Control, but not brakes, correct?
