Welcome to the Forum

Best thing to do is turn all that TC crap off before you race or joy ride.

turn off t/c when racing (track). i use t/c when on the street especially when air is cold. and will use comp mode when warmer. know your cars power and use t/c when warranted on the street it might save you from a wreck. even with t/c on with the setup i have now in the car can get out of shape before t/c could take over and be wrecked. icall that outrunning t/c. alot of cars in the performance section can do it.
