I need a definite answer! Dyno run + T/C fuse

OK all the discussions in this thread regarding pulling the traction control fuse for the SS w/ Auto tranny before running on a dyno is great! The only problem I've found is that None that I've found say EXACTLY which fuse we have to pull. I ask because when I went to the dyno, we pulled all 3 ABS fuses since there's a 40amp, a 20amp, and a 10amp fuse that relegate the ABS/ (TC?) system. All the fuses were labelled as "ABS" in the fuse cover, there was no definite "Traction Control" fuse. The problem that I saw is, pull all 3 fuses and Comp. Mode is defeated! For those of you that have run on the dyno successfully, which fuse is it!? I'd appreciate a straight answer since I feel that my results would have been a higher if we'd pulled the "right" fuse. Someone point me in the right direction!!

I didn't pull any fuses and my Auto kicked and screamed the whole way. It thought it was wrecking so it shut down every time.

3 pulls and I think it showed 180 hp. I wasn't about to go pulling fuses tho so I never did see what it would pull.

if you disable the t/c from the button the stabilitrak is still on, i think you have to press and hold the button until esc goes off.

i know there was talk of pulling a fuse, but like you i never saw a real answer.

so dont take my word for it but you should be able to get a pull with the esc off

or maybe you can just pm (More_Torque_More_HP)

I am fairly positive that pushing the buttons won't do it... that's all I had to work with and I held it in, pushed it several times, screamed at it and all kinds of scenarios but just using the button didn't seem to be allowing the auto to dyno.

THANK YOU!!! Like some have noted, if you don't pull the fuses and basically "kill" the T/C system, you won't get a clean pull which = no real hp/tq figures. Turning the T/C off won't do it, as Stabilitrak or ESC is still on. It freaks because it "sees" the fronts spinning but the rear tires are stationary; that's why it'll buck and sputter a76marine. We even jumped on the forum while the car was strapped to the dyno to get the fuse # but no dice... Hopefully someone will chime in w/ some good info for us, soon.

I made 256.9 hp 250.8 lbs/tq. That's w/ a Stage kit and a Hahn 3" turboback exhaust. I have pics and a vid in my gallery I believe.

I made about 215 across the board on my run, but that is with the auto trans, Stage 1, and it was about 95 plus outside when I did mine. I'd like to get a better run done once we figure this crap out.
