Default Launch control post enhanced performance..

I have a 2015 C7 M7 Z06 that I had an LMR aftermarket motor build installed. It now makes 840 WHP and 700+WTQ. The baseline power before the build was 509 WHP (I'm in California) so this is obviously a significant increase. The torque is nuts. I'm wondering if the greatly increased power and torque is too much for the launch control feature of this car. TIA for any advice.

Similar power here. I’ve never turned mine off.

Too scared.

Only one way to find out. Try it. Just make sure you are in a wide open area (like a large parking lot with no light poles or curbs near) so you can safely get off the throttle to bring the car under control.

After I put a blower on my car I’ve had an issue with my LC. When I engage LC the rear tires do about a half rotation that pushes the car through the staging lights. Other then that it works.
