Am also setting the car up for the 1/4 mile.

The word here from the drag racers is that you need to pull the Brake/Stop Lamp fuse (10Amp) located in the drivers side kick panel.
(Unplugging the Bosch Modulater/ Yaw Sensor doesn't seem to do it all ???).
Haven't tried that solution personally yet

Pulling the fuse = NO more VDC and NO more ABLS.
The downside tho' is NO more BRAKE LIGHTS.

Fine for the drag strip - but definitely not for everyday driving or the track.

Working on a solution to islolate the brake lights and power the circuit from a different source if possible.
This way I will be able to lose VDC/ABLS and keep the Brake Lights.
Hope I find a way to do that.

I like the Race Logic --- It is fantastic for everyday spirited driving --- but find it might not be all that suitable for drag racing.

Still dialing it in tho' ... gotta play with some more with the advanced settings but am running into some conflicts with the launch and min RPM features.

Car is in the shop now for some power upgrades , so I won't be able to tweak it for a few weeks.

Guys are pulling the brake lamp fuse to be able to do burn outs as to the best of my knowledge this is the only advantage in doing so. Currently the car will not let you roast the tires with your foot on the brake so you can only do a rolling burnout. I could look through the FSM and probably come up with a way for you do fool the computer and bypass it for your brake lights. That or just hook up a switch to remove power to the fuse all together and just remember to flip it on when your done at the track.

Also I know what you mean about the racelogic, it is very finicky to get it to launch right. There are a lot of adjustments that can be made in the software however and im confident that with enough time playing with them you will be able to get the car to launch consistently. I personally only have one track day on it myself so mine is not dialed in nearly what it could be, but for everyday driving on the road it works amazingly.
