My uncle is installing it on his 500kW (at the wheels) Corvette. He is quite positive it will help him get some traction around Malalla as at the moment he has very little!

Will let you know how he goes

thanks mike, keep us posted.

i was comparing this thing to the Beer Rev limiter and other launch controllers...... and was wondering which one would be more effective

im sure there great but, probly exspensive, in my R34 i just ground traction controll butter fly down a little which made it heaps more fun but not as unsafe as driving around with it turned off.

but thats just me

They cannot be compared to the Bee-R. A guy i know has one in a 450hp SVI Rx7. I've heard its phenomenal. Set your slip ratio with the control, say 10% and you can just plant it out of slow corners with it maintaining that slip % while rally style popping out the exhaust.

I have run an RLTC with launch control (pre-digital adjuster version) for a while now. It is, quite simply, a phenomenal unit. I run it on a moderately modified 1JZ Soarer making substantially more power than stock, and it has literally saved my life in the wet on at least 3 separate occasions. It is no substitute for driving with "situational awareness", but in a high powered RWD car, it just buys you that little extra time to perform corrective manoeuvres. I imagine the benefits would multiply on a high powered AWD car. The launch control is fun too As stated, it is very customisable; basic settings are Wet, Dry, and 10--30% slip via the adjustment knob. Obviously, it can also be switched off.

IMHO it's one of the most worthwhile mods I've ever performed.

LOL great way to lean you're engine out, the TCS is a fine balance between ignition and fuel cut (3 cylinders off) and blancing the air to match via the butterfly, letting more air in due to grinding the buterfly down will push your AFRs stupidly high.
