Im sure it does but i would not reccomend using it,even with advance trac turned off when u use launch control it somehow still uses some torque management.

Launch Control still works, however the lowest you can set it to is 3,000 RPM. I tried using it on my PZeros with 32 psi on a stretch in Mexico. Ran a blazing fast 13 sec 1/4 mile with a 2 second 60ft.

Dont use launch control,get a 2step.Your not going to go fast using the factory launch control.

More than likely you will only be stalling the car to about 1500ish and letting it flash so theoretically you could still use the launch control. I pull the 50a fuse seen in the picture below. This completely disables traction control, and a bunch of other stuff. Launch control, ABS, Stability control etc. This was recommended for the track and for dynoing because there have been instances of the TC still kicking in even when you hold the button to turn it off. I believe it happened to [MENTION=24357]F1scamp[/MENTION] at our recent track day.

A custom tune is not set to work right with launch control, I did use it though but I had alot better results with a 2step

You'd be much better off with a WOT box or doing it by feel over the factory launch control. Whenever we've tested with the factory launch control it always had issues and seemed like it kept us from running good times. As soon as we turned the factory launch control off and did it by feel or using a WOT box we always went quicker.

If you have any questions regarding the WOT box give us a shout. We're here to assist you.
