Default Traction Control /Active Handling

Anyone on here play around with the different traction control modes drag racing. Currently have a 2008 base auto with fti 3600 convertor and some bolt in and on mods. Also have currently 150 shot of Nitrous. We have the window switch we can adjust throttle percentage and rpm activation.
Issue is at the moment traction is a big issue.
Has anyone played with the different modes of the factory traction control, do any of them not start killing fuel and timing? Not working all that bad on motor only but full traction control on does not like to work well with the nitrous.
Any thoughts out there??

Couple of ways to handle such, and one way would be working with torque management to limit the amount of instant torque that the drive line can can see at any time.

As for traction control system itself, not a system you want to too use, since it reacts once the tires do break free to clip power, and once the tires do break free, it already too late isntead.
