im confused as to why you need boost while at the line? if you are fighting traction from the launch regardless, how will that help? why do you need to watch your revs with the stock set-up, when its meant to be put to the floor and regulates it for you at around 5000? with the stock set-up, if you feather the clutch youll get decent traction and buy the time you can even shift to 2nd, wont you be at full boost anyways? i dunno, it just seems silly to buy this and wouldnt that be the reason it doesnt show it offered for the 08+ SS/tc?

do you people expect the car to work the clutch for you too?
step one: learn how to launch a car with out launch control.
step two: use the launch control to Aid in lunching the car.
don't confuse anti lag with launch control
you don't need anti lag on that tiny twin scroll turbo especially if your not running slicks, or at lest DRs
the wot box dose seem to work more like anti-lag, with its cylnder shut off and what not.
but if you already dont know how to lanch a fwd car its just gonna make things worst.
how ever the ability to adjust things sounds nice.
leve the anti lag to big turbo awd guys lol

learning your car > buying a mod that makes no sense
OMG people!!!!! If you have a 08 or 09 SS TC you have both NLF and Launch Control. The problem is that most people are not using the Launch Control the right way. At 5,000 RPM you never dup the clutch all the way out at once. If you do that on the street or track wheel spin is all you will get. You need to let the clutch out slow and smooth. Think of it as going from a stop holding the RPM at 2,000 and riding the cultch out. Yes this will ware out the clutch but at 5,000 your car will move faster off the line then at 2,000. The SS Cobalt TC has a heavy duty clutch and it can and will take this abuse. Remember NLS can be done out of Comp Mode. I've played with this at the track a lot and trust me I know what Im talking about. I will be posting a Video soon in the "how to discussion" soon. Any Q/A PM me till then. Long story short dont blow your money on stuff you already have.

i have a question then..i have not ever launched this car with stickies, obviously. if ppl are sayin that the factory LC revs too high and causes spin, even though boost isnt built until the clutch is let out, then how different would it be for the WOT to be at a lower rpm but with boost. plus in that small amount of time that you would be letting the clutch out with the factory setup, the boost will be full-on by the time you even get through the short first gear. so i dont see how the factory setup would be at a disadvantage. its not like its gonna bog or anything. not trying to sound like im dissing the product but i just cant see how the ability to built boost while sitting still is gonna be that much of an advantage?

i hit an instant 12 psi in my ss/sc with the box. the shop civc launches at 15psi at 9k rpms. same with the crx we have.
that second of lag can make or break a 60ft and cost you the race. also. revhigh wants to beat me at the track
lol

cool. well i cant speak from experience with stickies and by no means am i an expert at the factory launch control. i personally think that learning to drive the car with seat time would out-weight the price or putting this on a 08+ SS but thats just me. maybe someone that gets it on their cars can show some examples with timeslips or something. i am aso a firm believer that a good driver can launch this car w/o an type of assistance from either the factory or aftermarket launch controls. i, however, am not that guy. lol

So bryan you think it is neccesary to get just the lunch control and not the wot shifting because that's what I'm ordering and i'm ordering the one for the solstice or are they all the same?

I still want to know how the WOT box allows the car to build boost.
Sure, Area's SC is going to, because there is no wastegate is there (I am not well versed on superchargers). The wastegate on the TC's is computer controlled, correct? Thus, you would have to trick the computer to keep the wastegate shut to build boost on the line. Am I right?
Also, the N2MB box only allows adjustment down to 4k rpms, which is not much different than 5k rpms. I looked into one for my Z, and I considered one for my turbalt. If it could adjust lower, I would definitely consider it, if not for track use, for use on the street.
