    If you get it tuned can you still keep traction control? or is it just automatically gone?

    I'd like it off for the track, but normal driving i think i'd keep it on.

    It's only turned off if you want it off, which is one of the parameters in the tune. Mine is permanently disabled, screw traction control.

    Its a little different since you have drag radials.

    I always had TCS disabled on street tires except for in the rain...now I'm stuck driving in rain on DR's with no TCS, which can prove to be rather interesting when going through intersections...

    thats pretty much the only reason i thought about keeping it. i mean whats the point in permanently disabling it if you can just hit a switch to do it for you?

    Because it's really easy to forget that it's still on when going to the track or screwing around on the street. For me it was one of those things that I'd occasionally forget to turn off at the track and decided to take the chance of forgetting it out of the picture. With decent tires, TCS really does very little under normal driving even in the rain unless you are starting to get pretty aggressive.
