standing start problem
Hi All. I have a C6 race car with a standard GM computer, LS3 , close ratio T6060 G/box. 4.10 diff gears. I turn the traction control off when I go on track (naturally)
When I do a standing start at the track the engine management cuts the engine power. the more revs i give the longer it takes to come back.
Does anyone have experience with this. When I test it on concrete at the work shop it lays rubber, but on an asphalt race track with hot gripy tires it shuts down.
thanks in advance.
PS this is Q 1 next question about suspension.

Torque management is applied to the shift on every gear change and can either be reduced/limited to either ETC or Spark or completely disabled in the tune.
This shutting down on the launch thing sounds more like traction control kicking in. I'm wondering if the OP is turning off traction control by pressing the button on the center console?
