Default Traction Control module with Vitesse Controller.

What is the recommended procedure for turning the traction control on or off when using with a Vitesse throttle controller.

The traction control feature will make adjustments on your throttle response if you break loose and your vehicle gets squirrely. What wins out Vitesse or traction control.

It seems to me that you might want to think about how you are running traction control if you are running 6,7,8 or 9 with Vitesse.

I would appreciate your thoughts.

Interesting question. Send an email to Ahmed through the Vitesse website and share the response with us.

I'd guess everything still works the same as stock as the computers are still getting the same feedback from the various sensors to the safety systems.

Everything will work the same because all the vitesse does is modify the commanded throttle percent, but the computer still has the final say in how far the blade opens.

This is exactly right. TC controls override any throttle input, including 100%. Vitesse has no more 'authority' than a standard gas pedal.

Yes, should be the same with the Controller.
The initial setting of Traction Control on the Corvette will be the same.

It's because now with the Controller installed, you are getting much faster response at higher settings, that's why the Traction cannot keep up.

Is it necessary to also install their throttle body or does this unit work with the stock throttle body?

The controller does not require any other modification to support its operation.
