Decided on a replacement for Go Man Go

That thing that keeps you outta the ditch

It seemingly doesn't do squat on mine, except make Mr. Squiggly light up....


Am I supposed to lift when that happens?

On my Hellcat it felt like someone literally cut the throttle and it took a couple seconds to recover.

On the 170 I've barely noticed at all. Had to look at a data log to confirm what I thought was TC actually was.

The traction control on the 170 is real good. Far better than my ‘22 Redeye & rips on a 20” drag radial.

M6 characteristic/shortfall perhaps?

I have same tire on 19 RE. 315/50R17 3rd set on custom wheels. It does well but the 170 handles traction control far better even though more power, so yes I would definitely say they spent the time with test and tune at the track to get every last ounce of bite possible. No I don’t experience the same power cut in the 170 as RE when traction control nanny steps in.

That kind of thing should be an update available to all cars.

I don't need the fancy drag mode and launch stuff. although that's nice...imagine what the base cars could do with a little refinement like that!

The TC feedback (for launch control anyway)is in the tune. Would be curious to see how it’s different in the 170 calibration to a regular hellcat or redeye

I don't know where to find it in the tuning. I've never seen TC tables other than torque mgmt which just reduce timing, bleed boost, etc. What I think is different in the 170 is the amount of slip allowed at the tire and how much torque mgmt intervenes when detected. I always thought the Hellcat TC programming was too heavy handed.
