Launch or Boost Control

Unread post by rusty_lawrence »

Thinking ahead here. I'm worried about putting power to the ground on my 95 Lightning after this build is done. It's a novi 2000 on a 408w. I had planned on widening the wheels to 17x11s. It already has long bars and a decently tuned suspension. I'm trying to avoid an expensive set of beadlock wheels and drag pack.

I see a lot of support for both boost and launch control for aftermarket ECUs. Are there any options out there to either tune a boost or launch control scheme with factory style ECU? timing coming out of first gear?

Or is there a reputable standalone boost/launch controller out there that can be installed on-side a factory system?

Not sure exactly. I'm def going to go with the widened wheels but if it's too much power off the line and it's all over the place, it would be nice to cut power off the line some kind of way. Maybe modify timing coming out of 1st gear only?

yea best case scenario is that it hooks consistent. Good to know we could do something if needed.
