picked up a 08 ss/tc just got a question how do i use launch control and NLS? what to i need to turn on nd what do i need to do after

 

Read the owners manual.

 

Ok launch control works off your traction control button. Push it once for tc and again for launch control. It will tell yoi on your dash that your in launch contol. Then just hold your petal to the floor. You should hold steady at 5000rpms. Then just roll the clutch. I personaly think its set to high. Thats why i changed mine to 3500 with my trifecta tune cause 5000 is just to much. As far as nls its pretty self explanatory just hold down the gas and dont lift the throttle when you shift. Hope this helps and enjoy your new car.

 

Push TC button twice...rev up to 5-5.5k whatever it is I forget dump clutch and good to go...

NLS- Keep foot on gas dont let up and shift through the gears...pretty easy

 

Don't use Launch control unless you hate your car.

 

make sure your at 6k or more for nls though...

 

Fixed

 

i tryed the NLS it just doesnt seem right something makes a really loud squeel and it doesnt seem like it holds the boost maybe i just didnt rev it out high enough?

 

Yeah NLS always felt like it was too rough on the drivetrain. I only did it right after I got it and then stopped.

 

from what i read when ur rev it out and put the clutch in to hit the next gear its suppose to cut off the gas?

 

My NLS has only worked once an it felt like I broke something

 

dam i wanna use it maybe im doing something wrong? does anyone actually use theirs often?

 

I used mine a lot when I first bought the car, when it was still completely stock. I only NLS'd 2 to 3 and 3 to 4. As long as you're up at 6K and you hold the gas pedal all the way to WOT, then it works pretty well. You hold boost, you get a pop, and you go. If you're car is tuned, though, I wouldn't bother. NLS just messes things up when you're tuned.

 

Careful using the NLS can eat your trans

Stock Launch control sounds pretty cool but is useless

 

Grats on car.

 

I used my nls all the time until i got a tune. Never had any issues at all. Not sure why others are afraid of it or why they dont want to use it. My service manager told me it was designed to be used or gm woundnt have put it on the car. He said besides if i had any issues just turn it in on warenty. Thats what it for.

 

the NLS slams the throttle closed and kills boost because GM sucks with their TQ management... launch control is a joke on these cars...

either way its a helluva lot faster to just powershift the car than it is to try and be nice to it...

 

ive NLS'd hundreds of times on a bigger turbo and NEVER had trans problems. if it breaks it breaks but when you need it it really helps

 

ive used nls hundreds of times with full bolt ons and 20 psi tune without a problem. trans is perfectly healthy. and it makes a big diffrence.

 

no lift shift should only be hard on the clutch if u do it right. u have to be quick about it. basically your dropping one side of the clutch (trany side) thats moving slower onto the fly wheel which will be moving fast cause of the high reving motor. the clutch slips a little but will catch pretty fast. result u get the feeling of getting pulled into the seat. and no turbo lag.

miss a gear doing this though and say good bye to your transmission.
