    Tuning StabiliTrac

    Good evening guys,

    I am new to this forum as well as hptuners. I have a 2011 Camaro SS that was tuned by corvettes of westchester. What I would like to o now is try and tune the StabiliTrac to get the car to actually leave the line without blowing the tires off. Is this possible to do? Any information would help.

    Thanks

    Assume you have an M6. StabiliTrac has nothing to do with traction or wheel slippage and is different from Traction control or Competitive mode. Stabilitrac only modulates Left and Right brakes when the car starts to slid in a turn. You might want to run in Competitive mode which includes Launch control and attempts to limit rear wheel overspeed to about 200 RPM higher than the front wheels so you never really blow the tires off the car. SbabiliTrac is also enabled when in Competitive mode.

    The amount of overspeed can be changed by changing VSS and tire diameters in the tune but there's not many other settings to adjust. I've been tweeking competative mode for a while now and getting close to fully computerized launches that maintain the same rear wheel overspeed regardless of launch boost, road conditions, how hot the tires are, etc...

    The hardest part for me is having confidence the ECM will hold launch RPM and slip because the pedal is buried to the floor 100% when staged but guess that's why they have a rev limiter.

    My 2011 3LT SS Camaro had the same setup as you so so pretty sure your car supports it too. GM has a nice video explaining all the different modes on that model year in case you're not sure how they work....be careful reading about how modes work on different year cars because GM seems to change it around from year to year.
