Default Active Handling Problem

I recently installed a ProCharger Supercharger to my 2004 LS1. The added power is amazing until Active Handlng kicks in and de-rates the RPM. It only took twice to learn to turn off Active Handling, but then Active Handling RPM de-rating still comes on at high speed shifts, so I have to coast to a stop and restart to turn off the active handing to get RPMs up again. I think I'm reluctant to switch to Competitive Mode for every day driving.

Anyone else had this problem and can you offer a fix?

Just Active handling no abs or traction control? I have seen the 3 come on due to wheel speed sensor or connector. Also did this issue arise after install only? I would check grounds and wires or DIC for codes... I have build many FI Z06 both C5 and C6 and never had an issue other than a loose wss connector causing a mess of a head ache...

Your system is not functioning properly. Active handling should only flash on if you need it and then go off. You need to pull and post your codes and that may shed some light on what is happening. Use the dic to pull the codes a scan tool will not pick up all the codes.
