How effective is the launch control on differing surfaces...?????

A guy i know who is involved in motorsport tells me that they set up launch control on the cars for every different road surface/temperature/weather/etc......

How can that work ?? I have launch control and its 5krpm and off. I have used it on the strip but I would never use it on the road as that much power coming in with No grip??? who knows where I would end

If it hasn't been locked by ECUTek yes, if it has then no..........

So would this be the first company to offer dedicated OS mapping using ECUFlash etc in the UK?

Scatty you know the answer to this already...

ECUtek stop anyone ...including other ECUtek mapper looking into there maps


therefore ECUtek mapped cars cant be done, only standard ECU's or open-mapped cars (unless ECUtek mapped before circa 2005) thats why i think open mapping is better ...

when a decorator paints your house ...you own the paint not Duluxe
