As far as traction control, yes, you can access this function to disable or enable the TC. It will work with our drive-by-wire as well as monitor wideband lambda AFR and allow adjustments via a laptop. I'm still learning the software in my limited spare time.
Although my car runs only the the necessary / required engine sensors and accessories the engine management is operated completely by the M600 since we removed the OEM ECU. It is my understanding that the system can be wired as a piggyback that will run engine management, but leave the accessories in a stock vehicle to be operated by the OEM ECU if you decide.
My system was installed to run all the necessary sensors (22 +/-) and the coils, fuel pump, radiator fan, SC clutch, IC pump, secondary cooling pump, ABS, drive-by-wire, speedo, tach, fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temp and brake lights. These were the only things i needed for my track car. I did purchase the limited data logging capability, but may upgrade it if the need arises.
The install / wiring process was fairly lengthy (2+ weeks) and cost an additional $2,500 but included a full day dyno tuning process and the loading of various engine management programs and AFR maps that I can access via my laptop in the paddock to change the engine operation between races.
I'll post all the info and the few photos I have in the next few weeks... The car has not even been track tested yet because of my work schedule but I am trying to make it to the NASA South East Regional race at Road Atlanta on August 9th-10th.
HDDP,
You come to Atlanta and I may get a chance to meet you. I'd love the chance to take a look
at your car in person. It think that on Aug. 9th and 10th I'll have to find a reason to head over
to Road Atlanta. Maybe bring my son along and let him look at a real racing Crossfire.
Good luck on the tuning!
