Default Does CAGS affect Launch Control

Just traded my 2004 Z06 for a 2010 3LT Grand Sport.

CAGS eliminator is always the first to go! But getting to think about it; does the CAGS affect the launch control?

After doing some research, I found that on some Camaros and GTOs the CAGS actually controls the reverse lockout.

I'd hate to be "testing" launch control and have the tranny drop out the back.

There is a setting for reverse lockout in the same general area as the CAGS in EFILIve but CAGS controls the CAGS solenoid. The settings for the reverse lock out are separate and independent of the CAGS settings.

Reverse lockout enable is 3 MPH
Reverse lockout disable is 2 MPH



Unless you program these differently, the lockout for reverse acts separately and CAGs doesn't do squat to it.

Engine coolant 171° F or greater
Barometric pressure is greater than 76 kPa
Speed between 15 and 19 MPH
Throttle position is 13% or less

Do you "launch" at these parameters? These are for CAGS to be activated. The CAGS defeat does not affect reverse as stated above, and if used just makes it a 6 speed manual shift with no computer interference.
