Traction control and supercharger?
Wondering if you can program your traction control after the super charger is installed. Mine kicks out the stock power often when full throttle is applied. Dont see how you could even drive the car with the super charger unless there was a way to program it. Could it be a matter of decent tires? Thanks in advance.
Will work for HPDE time.

Most TCS are table-based, just like VE, PE, timing, injector pulsewidth, blah, blah, blah.
As I understand it, the TCS on our cars is non-adjustable, with only torque management having varied degrees of nannying.
Once the table for TCS is maxed out, (I can't remember the value) it pretty much gives up. I know I could roast the tires in 1-2-3 even with TCS on in my GTO...the computer basically spit out "F- this, I can't hold, so I'm not trying".
Too much power for traction control to handle on my car.
