What I still don't get is how this device is holding the car back? The stock converter is constantly holding the motor back if your feet are on the brakes. Not the launch control. The stock converter is what sets your RPM, nothing more, nothing less. Outside of throttle input. I say launch control does absolutely NOTHING for an automatic.

Also, how many of you have ever heard of a drag car using traction control? This really makes no sense. Get better tires if you are having problems.

This device is more directly related for a manual tranny when it comes to launching.

Gotta agree here. If ur havin traction problems then ur suspension n tires need to be looked at first.

While its a gear product, for that price I'll look into other areas before goin this route. I want to plant ALL my power to the ground. This device cuts power to the wheels to keep traction. I didnt get 540hp to not use it all.

Not knockin the product at all, personally for me would prolly be a last resort.

Your right when you say suspension and tires should be looked at first before the traction control system. But I must say that when it cuts powers it's not that bad ,also you have to remember you can fine to it for it to cut the perfect amount of power. This allows you to put the maximum amount of power to ground while still going forward trust me ts amazing. Also have a 2 step to built boost at the track is the icing on the cake for a turbo car . This are things that Uprev just can't do .


Racelogic Key features
1.The ability adjust 1% increments from 0%-25% allowing the driver to dial in the perfect setting for there car. Now there are many factor's that contribute to this tire's/suspension weather condition's. This can be done on the fly just by turning the knob

2. 2 Step launch control allows you to build boost of the line and adjust how much slippage you want.

With that being said you can still loose traction and get sideways if you set the system to allow to much wheel spin. I made this mistake when I first put the system on my car went out for a drive in 25 degree weather. Once I dialed it in I was able fly in the same conditions.

I also updated my first post with the key features .
