traction control & chip

BSPMustang · 07-13-2001, 10:42 AM

Does anyone know if adding a chip will mess up the traction control? Also I need to know how much power are people putting through there auto trans, and have they had any problems

I dont know about the auto trans question, but the chip wont mess up the traction control. Trac Control is done thru the ABS computer to work the brakes, and it sends a signal to the engine computer to retard the timing. That signal will still be picked up by the engine computer, even with a chip. The chip will be going in the engine computer.
