Default Launch Control after adding HP

My experience is that the launch control does not really work after 100+ HP is added. The car just breaks the rear loose almost as much as without launch control engaged.

Wondering if anyone has found a way to reflash the ECU to adjust the launch parameters to provide better control.

Is that 100rwhp or 100 flywheel/crank?

I rode with a friend to try LC out. It didn't work when stock either. I could launch better with my non-z51 optioned '08. Better wieght transfer, less spin.

Have you thought about the Racelogic traction control system with built in fully adjustable launch control?

I'm interested in the RaceLogic but I have yet to see one working in a C6. Not sure if there is something technically keeping it from working or what.
