Default High HP / TCS - Active Handling Augment

How about a device thet will return the active handling to the same mode it was when turned off, i.e. competion mode.
a high hp traction control system would be cool... you know one that doesnt bog you down
I hear you

I don't have a lot of track time under my belt.. So I'm a little unclear as to how the TCS / AH systems should be working... What would you like it do do?

I looked into this for about an hour now... There are somethings I can do...

e.g.
Anything dealing with controlling the armed/disarmed status of the TCS; np...

Like the boxes that you see that "remember" the last status of the TCS and return it to that state on engine crank. Perhaps something that "watches the RPM" and disables the TCS automatically... Which might have some extra concerns that I would have to look into before taking on such a project.

There might be something I can do about cutting down the amount of braking effect it has... but unless someone else has a good idea about how it should function; I don't want the responsibilty of messing with someone's brakes.

However, those are the only two functions that occur outside of the ECUs (mostly the PCM). And since we know the PCM is responsible of the powertrain and the amount of power provided to the wheels; I can't find an appropriate interface to modify.
