I called Jotech Motorsports near Dallas to get a baseline dyno reading on my CTR before I do any mods but they told me there’s a good chance that it’ll throw up error codes if the front wheels are spinning but the rears aren’t. Does just completely disabling traction control like PRL’s procedure work to avoid problems? Or is standard hold down the ESC button until it turns off work?

I fully disabled all traction control in +R mode when I did mine (3 pulls) and I did not have anything pop up. But others who have done the same thing have told me that it has happened to them. So it's kinda hard to say. Definitely do it with it fully disabled by holding the button for 5 seconds, but I can't really tell you if it will come on or not.

Thank you! I'll take that under advisement.

When I dynoed my first CTR, the dash lit up. Driving the car for a few miles turned them off. If you do it, just turn all the traction control stuff off.

I dynoed my car like the first guy said with it in +R mode and the VSA fully off and had no issues.

You should disable VSA / TCS on the dyno using the pedal dance.

1. Switch on the ignition, release the parking brake, press the brake pedal.
2. Switch VSA off and on. This means holding it down for 2 seconds twice until the disable light goes on and then off again.
3. Apply the parking brake and release the brake pedal.
4. Repeat #2
5. Press the brake pedal.
6. Repeat #2

It it works then the VSA disable light is on with 'off' blinking next to it. You have to do this after every upload or if you switch off the ignition. If it doesn't work then you probably are not holding the VSA button long enough.

What is this some sort of a video game cheat code. Why is the r has so many secrets? I just want my R to be over 400hp
