Now that HPF carries the Active line is there any chance we might see a traction control system for our cars? :4ngie:

I honestly don't see the point. The AA kits are not putting out enough power.
Unless you have a custom AA kit with Nitrous:4ngie:

Pretty much any FI m3 will break loose in 2nd all day... and even 3rd when it's cold. However, since AA's tune is a DME flash, and HPFs traction system works through their AEM piggyback, I don't think it's a possibility, but your best bet would be to contact them directly.

Yeah true I forgot about that. Even though thats the main issue.

Stage 2 Gen 3... don't need it.. use the factory traction control for the twisties and common sense for pull offs from the line. I agree with the post above.. these kits don't produce enough power to warrant traction control

Also.. the power delivery is very linear.. I find that I can REALLY hammer this kit without the rear breaking out.

That said.. these guys

together with CA Automotive in the UK have built and fitted a system with in car adjustment specifically for supercharged M3's... with the AA kit in fact

The racelogic traction control is nice, but it looks like quite a bit of work to install!?

Yeah.. and it cuts sparks to reduce power which could be dangerous??
