does an 08 tc come with launch control from factory? if so how can i use it and play with it?

Cobalt_Daddy

yes. read your owners manual

press the button to the right of your steering wheel twice. you may have to hold it a bit. it will say competitive mode on your DIC.

push in clutch, push gas, let go of clutch.

i don't recommend using though. it sucks.

lmao! thanks for the info, I've heard upgraded ones are good tho.

Cobalt_Daddy

upgraded what?

Yes all LNF's have Launch control/competitive mode.

Hit your Traction button(right side of steering wheel) twice. It'll put you into beast mode(comp/launch control). Be aware that you're now a little more free from the nanny but not 100% free, the nanny is always waiting to help keep you on the road. If you hold the same button for 5 seconds it'll further turn off the ESC(still always there)

With launch control enabled and at a dead stop hold your gas pedal right to the floor with the clutch in and only slowly release the clutch while staying WOT. It's a pretty consistent take off.

I wouldn't even waste your time with it.

The only thing its good for is smokey burnoits on the street and wheel hop at the track
If i remember right someone logged stock launch control and all it did was hold throttle around 40% until it got close to redline
Now if you have trifucta and have an adjustable lc that is cool but then you have a trifecta tune so good luck with that

Working with 09cobaltSS1 on my tune and for the 1st time ever I got the car to hook using it. 235 Yokohama advan neovaR's worked great. I had given up on it a long time ago but john is working his magic on the car. Wanted to take some out of low speed to try and plant it. Having a Powell suspension and mounts also help tremendously.

Ive always wondered if you could do this
So is he just basically detuning first gear so it hooks using lc???

I'm on trifecta and my launch is set to 120% of 4800 whatever that is. Works good.

I'm not him, so I'm only assuming he's limiting the rev when not moving (in the summer for drags I have mine limited to 2.5-3k) and then limiting torque by gear vs rpm.

I never use launch control or NLS. I only use that button to turn off TC and ESC.
Only way to drive this car at the track. I HATE driving aids. If you can't control the car without them, get a Prius

Ramping 1st at stock pressure. Mine is still set at 4750- which is stock I think. Pretty sure it's also limiting torque by gear and rpm also. I wouldn't use it except at the track as I don't run the car hard at all. Nice to know I could though if needed. My 60ft times were horrible and I am just trying to give up hp to not spin. Would love to cut 2.0-2.1 60's to run in the 12's.

Colodude- I usually only use nls 1-2 if at all because of stock psi in 1st, and only at the track. If I had your setup I wouldn't even think about it. I usually only come off the line about 2,200 or so as I could run into traction issues much above that.

Only way to drive the car on the street too lol

Keep it off in nice weather only. Use that **** all the time when driving in bad weather. ESC is so handy. My last car had no TC,ESC or LSD.

Got a shop that sells imitations of Greddy & HKS BOV for $55. They say it's safe but def not risking it. I found a turbo smart BOV kit for $177 but for that price I rather just get myself a downpipe. It sucks that these cars don't come with them stock :/

in my tune, I have my neutral gear set to 3000 rpms as the limit while not in motion. Works better than launch control.

Cobalt_Daddy

recirc valve is better for the car, that's why.
