it is there to protect the drive line from warranty work not to enhance performance.

If that is the case then indeed Launch control should work unless someone knows differently, one poster here says they have done it, I'm simply looking for a second source to be sure its correct.
You probably arent going to find a second source since so far all the retrofits I've done. Not sure what more you are looking for, it works i've done it go try it LOL

This is simply not correct. Spinning the tires protects the drive train, the launch control enhances grip by reducing slippage.
