I'd really like to be able to have some authority over things like allowed slip percentage vs. mph and vs. throttle position, attack and decay settings, etc - but I've not seen any of that. It would be really nice if you could have authority over both the standard and competitive driving modes, so you could have an aggressive standard mode for say when you get caught in the rain on slicks, competitive mode is your normal "fun" street mode with some nannies if your balls overstep your talent, and then full off like we have now. You may be able to work the min and max torque parameters to get it to behave some - that would be a game of experimentation.

Mine has been disabled for years now - when I light the tires up (with TCS on) I still get the flashing light on the dash, but the ECM doesn't take any corrective action. So, instead of the factory system I use a highly sophisticated sensor in my ass cheeks wired to the TCS module between my ears.

Yeah I've messing around with the traction control settings a little bit and can confirm that when you lower the max torque under traction control it just blows the tires off at a longer duration so I think that you would want it to be a bit higher then your actual engine torque that seems to work best. And then I tried lowering the active dc min value from 40% to 10% and really can't tell a difference. Also I'm only using the spark method of traction control at the moment because I feel like the throttle control is too invasive. But I need to try messing with the max torque versus rpm I guess controlled by spark.
