    Can we make traction control less aggressive?

    This is for a c7 z06 manual. I have searched and haven't found much. I am looking for a way to let's say, make TC 50% less intrusive. I want to keep TC on because honestly on street tires I dont hook but curent TC kills power altogether the moment I lose traction and I would also prefer not to have to turn off TC every time I want to have some fun. I'd prefer to do this through spark rather than closing the throttle.

    You can try increasing the traction control torque value. It SHOULD make it come on softer if you increase the value. But I have never been able to confirm it actually works. Sometimes I thought it did and others I thought it didn't. Set it too like 800-1000 and see if it makes a difference. If so, fine tune the value to a more realistic number.

    nope

    There is a torque limit setting though. If you raise this value, maybe it will be less aggressive. It works on some cars.

    I've had to do that on other than stock tire setups that still wanted traction control. Traction control stock settings were causing fish bites while cruising via brakes being pulsed and raising it caused that to go away, so like Jason said, it should work for you.
    2010 Vette Stock Bottom LS3 - LS2 APS Twin Turbo Kit, Trick Flow Heads and Custom Cam - 12psi - 714rwhp and 820rwtq / 100hp Nitrous Shot starting at 3000 rpms - 948rwhp and 1044rwtq still on 93
    2011 Vette Cam Only Internal Mod in stock LS3 -- YSI @ 18psi - 811rwhp on 93 / 926rwhp on E60 & 1008rwhp with a 50 shot of nitrous all through a 6L80

    Its quite high already I think it's 700 something. I'll try 1000

    This value is mostly arbitrary once you change the airflow since calculated torque changes. Just think higher number should make it less intrusive and lower number would make it more agressive.

    Good tips guys, I've messed with it a little as well. I upped mine slightly over stock, seemed to make little less intrusive but it was also hard to tell since I put subwoofer in trunk at 100 lbs gave me more traction as well.
