Default DiabloSport Predator Tuner

Just got my Tuner a couple of days ago, and man did this really bring out the beast of my 06 v6 mustang..

One question should I turn on or off the traction control, I have it off right now, but would it really make a difference if I turn it on, Will I really have better traction, I mean the only time I squeak the tires is when Im WOT, but I was just wondering If I would get better traction or not?

I'd leave it on so you can manually select on or off.

if you have it off you get a better hole shot. that would be the only reason i could think of to turn it off. if you can turn it off and on with a switch, i would just do that.

The words "traction control" are a misnomer, it is a "spin contol" and a good driver can hear/feel when the tires are breaking traction and let just enough throttle off to regain grip, the computer however takes drastic measures and cuts the throttle a whole bunch to regain grip, then slowly gets back to your original mashed setting. It will slow your launches down considerably(the traction control) . It can be usefull in say, snow or ice conditions to keep the best stick to the ground, but for performance driving, use your right foot to get the best "traction control" Besides, if you haven't loaded the firm shifting program yet, you haven't even felt half of the fun that your diablo can give you, and the firm shift program shuts it off totaly (until you load another tune) Load that one, and floor it, you will giggle like a little girl when it shifts!

+1 on stl. looks like you live in texas so you wont have to worry about snow like me, but wet roads from rain can make that extra gallop tricky. i just leave mine on untill im ready to race. nobody likes it when your wot and you spin a little and your motor stalls for a bit until you regain traction, haha
