    Prolly a dumb supercharger question

    Can you hurt an engine if you have the traction control on with a supercharger setup?

    lol..I really have no idea, but I'd probably turn it off, considering when your start spinning the the traction control kicks in and cuts you off until you grab some traction..

    hell with it, turn it off! haha

    I always understood that the traction control 1) pulled out timing 2) applied brakes and 3) CUT OFF FUEL. It that is the case, it would be bad due to the fact that it can run lean. I would either turn it off or get out of the throttle once the TC kicks on,. Hope that helps!

    im under the impression yes because i think i read an article about it on K.B.'s website and im pretty sure the tune they can send you disables the traction control if you so choose because of the damage it may cause
