Major suspension upgrade

Chub2000 · 02-09-2017, 02:00 PM

I dropped my car off at DSC/TPC Racing this week. These guys do some amazing things. Their computer shaved 1.5 seconds in my Porsche GT3. I cant wait to see the improvement on my Camaro.

Subscribed. They have a dealer close to me in the Dallas area so I'm looking forward to the results!

Let us know how it goes. Did you ever buy the GT350R?

My friend backed out and decided to keep the car

So what exactly will this change? The traction/stability software, the PTM software (both?), or the MRC software?

both are great questions. im not sure how it really works, but it surely makes me go faster around a racetrack.
feel free to contact the Tom at DSC Sport. he can explain it.

I second this. If he needs a test mule, I manage Club Motorsports in Tamworth, NH. A 2.5 mile road course with over 700' of elevation change up and down in just one lap. When I get my 1LE and the snow is gone, I would be more than happy to do testing laps for data logging for them.

they do most of their testing at VIR, but you could always ask them.

So they program a separate controller or do they reprogram the OEM controller? How does this effect the warranty? If you have separate controller is there a way for GM to tell you used and after market controller? I just wanna no - "Amine voice".

I'm curious about this as well. I would love to be able to simply plug the stock unit back in to retain stock function.

I'm also curious about if any of the PTM modes are effected by this setup. Does it override all PTM modes to some preset suspension tune or is it tuneable on the fly by switching through the 5 PTM modes.

It takes about 60 seconds to plug the stock unit back in. The factory would never know that you were using a different computer.

It says in the link in the OP: "Remove OEM controller from bracket and replace with DSC sport controller."

I am very skeptical about the whole thing with this particular car though. Between the MRC, PTM and the eLSD, having some aftermarket company mess around with that (no matter how good of a shop) kinda would scare me a tad. Plus, I would assume these are things GM would have engineered to the fullest as there would be no reason to cut corners as they came from the Z06 and trickled down to our cars.

But, I am open to the idea and would give it a chance...and what is the cost of this????
