Since the 370Z has electronic brake distribution and not mechanical, when you unplug it, it defaults to 50/50 brake bias which is way too much rear brake. You can offset it a little with pad compound, but still too much brake pressure going to the rears. You'll have to baby the brakes to avoid locking up the rears and spinning, so you might as well be babying the brakes to avoid ice mode. Either way, you can't use very much brake.

From what I understand, the Racelogic doesn't effect braking or the way ABS works at all. It simply gets information from the ABS system about wheel speed. The only thing it actually controls is fuel injector pulse which has zero effect on braking or the ABS system. Besides, for $2,200 you might as well run all new brake lines and an aftermarket dual master setup with brake bias adjustment bypassing the ABS all together. That's a for sure fix.
