Heck if someone wanted their ABS and Trac lights off, I can do that too with some code. Not saying this is what AGT has done though. I honestly don't know. To be honest, implementing traction control in a standard product like mine would be pointless as everyone has wildly different cars with wildly different setups. I don't know what tables modern PCM's have unlocked from HPT and other tuning suites, but it would be a lot of "tuning" to get a good traction control strategy out of a completely different car. ABS is probably a lot easier to do. More power to more people getting things like this done. I don't want to be the only one out here making products so people don't have to buy massive standalone systems. Last I checked the AGT approach was to remove the factory ECU from the system. I'm not sure if this has changed.

Yeah it was Mad Panda. They finally replied, As I Suspected the lights turned off and traction/ABS don't actually work. They are still working on it.
Colin - My lights aren't on. Traction Light just Flashes telling my I am spinning. Which I don't mind. Lets me know I need better tires. Spinning through 4th isn't the best thing in the world. Especially not when trying to have some fun haha. On another note. I keep blowing exhaust gaskets. This last time I went with good vibrant gaskets and it still ended up leaking. I am going to cover it in some high temp copper sealant and hope it seals correctly. Edit: The Oil Pressure issue has been driving me nuts. I was going to just wait to grab the AIM early Next year, but I am not sure I can wait that long. Went ahead and grabbed a set of the VLS Oil Pressure and Oil Temp Gauges. Always getting asked for rides, which I am more than willing to fulfill. Last night after one lap of the ride. Idle Oil Pressure was showing about 12-15 PSI. WOT pulls oil pressure gauge wouldn't move until pull was over. So I HIGHLY suspect oil pressure gauge is dead. Either sensor is broken, or gauge itself. That or engine is holding together extremely well and is about to blow up haha. Should be here early next week.

I'm a big fan of copper header gaskets. I've never had them blow and they work well with imperfect surfaces. I have one header bolt that is snapped and it seems to be sealing well despite missing that.

No A/C has been miserable. Traveling 10 hours for the Honeymoon. Planning on filling a container full of Ice or Dry Ice and putting a fan on side, and dryer vent tubes on the other side going to the front of the car haha
Had a friend of mine do a fly by so I could get a video of the car/exhaust. He said the car was way different from when it was turbo, and he never did go WOT (I think it kind of scared him). So the exhaust video didn't really come out how I wanted. Though there was a lot of traffic for some reason, so don't really blame him. I will have to get a better one on an empty street.

Do you think they are truly rated to 600? how much power are you looking to make?

Absolutely not haha. They are surprisingly weak from everything I have seen. As much as I can N/A. Soon tuned on E85.
Then eventually slap a couple GT35s and see what kind of wild street car I can make while still hopefully being able to handle well.

I'm wondering if it's worth it to pick up a set of the 600's then. I'm still on stock axles.

The DSS axles are not that weak (At least from what I've seen from people who are on mild drops). People start snapping them because they're too low and the axle angle gets on the extreme side quickly on this cars. Anything below 1.5-2" drop is already putting a big strain on the axles.
