www.performance-dyno.com ..... feel free to say I recommended him. He's also an electrician ... doing my house, will be at my place tomorrow, was there yesterday ... rewiring pretty much the whole place (house I bought in Hudson, renovating the whole place)
That's cool Gabe. I checked out the website. The rates are very reasonable. I'll give him a call. We need to organize a New Hampshire cruise night or day.

I am originally from NJ and moved here 7 years ago and don't know a soul. Still feel like a fish out of water up here.

Your help is most appreciated.

I once downshifted to 3rd and punched it. The tires broke loose and traction control kicked in and nearly threw me into a concrete divider because of the braking. So no... I keep mine off most of the time except when the road is wet.

I just moved to NH about 2 years ago, and only a year ago into this area, so still learning a lot.

The NH Mustang Club is a great bunch of people, ... the club is having their spring dyno day in April, I think it's on Sat the 18th.
And it's at Pete's shop, Performance Dyno.

I plan on putting my car on the rollers again

I'm with you brother! With that stuff on, the car just feels bound up. Feels like it rolls smoother without it. I don't drive mine in the rain, so I rarely have it on.

Almost all power gets pulled for a second or two. When in sport mode It hardly kicks in at all and the car is fun to drive but you can tell the system is holding it back just a bit.
What I'm saying though is just push the button and immediately let off. Then it will say "traction control off". Don't hold it down.

I understand. That doesn't work the way it should either. I have tried all 4 modes.

All systems engaged

TC Off

Advancetrac off

Sport Mode

Robert, I spoke with Pete (the tuner) today about your car he said a lot of cars do it on his dyno, he has to sometimes "fully disable" the advancetrac 2-3 times before it finally shuts down.

Thats annoying to have to do that and hope that it gets turned off completely.
