QUESTION
Whats the difference between launch control and a trans brake?
ANSWER
Launch control is a system that limits RPM under specific conditions (such as at launch) and requires the use of the foot brake.
A trans brake locks the transmission to build boost without using foot brakes. This allows for more aggressive, and often more consistent, launches.
Both systems are designed to enhance vehicle acceleration from a standstill and require drive activation, but they operate differently and have distinct implications for vehicle performance and durability. Our tunes include launch control on supported platforms, while the trans brake remains a separate add-on feature with its own data logging procedure required.
TIPS
Activation of Launch Control or the Trans Brake requires fully disabling Traction Control and AdvanceTrac. Additionally, you must quickly engage the throttle and hold it at a steady position for the feature to remain activated. If RPMs or throttle position drop below the pre-determined minimun threshold at any point, the feature will deactivate and you must start re-engage it for use.
