Should I be turning off the t/c ? All my runs are with t/c on
I'm sure even with a grippy track your tires are have some slippage, the moment the computer reads that it cuts power to the wheels. You can try holding the TC button until it says added track off or something like that. This is how I usually drive without cutting power to the wheels. Even though there is a significant difference with ABS disabled you get all of the unrestricted power to the wheels. I'm sure there is a fuse for it and you can pull it out and put it back in when you leave.

Another thing I would like to see is the difference between:

1) Turning off advanced track and engaging the rear locker
vs
2) Disabling ABS

You can't engage the rear locker with ABS disabled, unless your programming skills are up to par, idk if that would be PLC programming or editing actual code in whatever language it comes with. I would think it's PLC with modules.

I had a rear locker on my 2019.
I just engaged the rear locker and turned off traction control.

What's kinda crazy is I had a '97 cobra I bought when it was about 10 years old with like 70K on it. It had either 373 or 4.10 gears an a CAI. I went to T&T an made about 10 runs. I was on drag radials an ran a best et of 14.04 an hit 100.something mph several times...I could not break into the 13's. I would redline in third gear at about the 1000 foot mark. I tried bouncing it off the rev limiter an shifting an netted about the same times an speed either way.

My tuned ranger is like a thousand pounds heavier an on premium the stock numbers probably aren't that far off an my tuned truck is probably right there with a stock 97 cobra.

I'm thinking you might hit the 13.9 with the traction control off. spray that intercooler down with ice water before the run lol.

97 Cobra sounds sooo good but yea that's crazy how quick these trucks can be.
