Significant traction improvement on hard launch and able to get onto throttle a little harder in mid turn.

Also, "comfortable" was touring mode for me on the street. Now I use sport and it's more compliant than touring used to be, yet the car seems flatter still under all g loads forward/back/side to side


​​​​​Unfortunately this is all subjective as I'm not a track guy

That is what I'm finding much more traction on launches the DSC controller seems to allow more weight transfer to the rear wheels I like it a lot. Highway joints and bumps are smoother with no loss in handling
Maybe improved handling but I don't really test those limits.

I just install one on my Z07, only driven it around the block so can’t say for sure yet. I pulled it from my 2017 Grand Sport without Z07 and it was a night and day difference on that car combined with the alignment.

Is your car a Z07?

I have the DSC in my Z07. I bought it and was debating selling the car after 1000 miles cuz it was just too rough. Got the DSC in and now I daily my Z07. Far less brittle and feels much more composed. Driving in the rain doesn't even bother it anymore. If you live in the Seattle area I would be happy to take you for a ride.

I live in Seattle area, as well. It would be interesting to compare rides between your car and my '19 Z06/7. What tires do you use? I've switched to PSS ZP for daily use, but some of my friends think I should've switched to a tire like R888R or similar.

I will be able to chime in on this pretty soon. My 16 Z07 goes to Weapon X next Saturday for performance mods including the new DSC version 4 I bought from Katech. I think it will be the first DSC Weapon X has installed.

I'm not sure I understand what's significant in them installing it for you : )

I'm in PA, unfortunately. Thanks for the offer, though.

nothing significant, simple job, just recovering from hip replacement surgery and it is damn hard to get down on a cold garage floor to do it.

I was just wondering if you had the calibration update from from Chevy Prior to Stalling The DSC, If so is true to say that in touring mode You did notice a substantial difference ?

I am on Super Sports right now.

I would be happy to meet up with you so you can compare ride differences.
