Default Comp mode or TC/AH off

When you guys go to the strip, do you typically run in Comp mode or turn the TC and AH off?

If imagine having both off is ideal since applying a front brake to correct would obviously slow the car down, but when some of you guys mod away, id imagine you get a bit of tq steer.

Thanks for any input.

If you really want to play it safe, I would use competitive mode. It will slow you down only if you are getting ready to lose control of your vehicle. IMHO, well worth it.

personaly, I leave TC/AH off. If I'm getting sideways enough on the track for the AH to kick in, then the run is already blown... so just get off the throttle.
