I have TC disabled now. MS is just to slow for it to be of any benefit on the autox. That coupled with my larger and better tires now, I just drive through the tire spin at the start. On the 3S, I think it would be beneficial if it was a well performing system. 2 of the guys that finished ahead of me run automatics. Perhaps that helps them get moving without shocking the tire like I do with a manual. The other person ahead of me has a big block with a TKX. Maybe he beat me because his car is heavier, maybe less power, maybe because he has 295 square. Or maybe he's just good at it. I spin the **** out of the tire almost all the way through first gear. I had to pedal it to find traction.
