You're overthinking this.
But it sounds like you're so nervous about using manufacturer installed software that you probably shouldn't use it. Especially your concerns about it being "illegal"? Huh ?
You might over react to the acceleration and do something dumb.
I think you really need to go to Ron Fellows and be instructed to ease your concerns.
Good Luck ❗

Rapid acceleration ticket cant hold up in court as they would need to define rapid acceleration Feet per second per second and prove you went over that. I have received one and easily won in court and also got everyone else's ticket thrown out from that cop that day where there wasn't undeniable proof. I asked the judge if he considered 6 second 0-60 fast and he said it could go either way and then let him know that my car was 60% slower than that so there was no way I could rapidly accelerate. When I got pulled over it was 3 in the morning and when the cop asked me how many drinks I had today I let him know day was only a few hours old so no more than a few. He asked me to step out of the car and I did. He said you must be an acholic because I wasn't showing any signs of alcohol. I informed him I hadn't had any alcohol just a few cokes. He got all pissed off and let me go and as I was merging back onto highway he pulled me over again and then gave me the ticket.
