I currently use Racelogic components and recently purchased the Traction Control System for testing. Racelogic componentry is bar far some of the best in the industry and I would highly recommend their products.

Heaps of guys over here in Australia who own Nissan 200SX's (Silvia's) absolutely rave about how good it is and how flexible it is in it's configurability.
Definitely thumbs up !

I pm'd you for a racelogic dealer here in Miami. He can explain the installation and if you don't want to do it yourself, he might be able to hook you up someone on the west coast.

Its worth the money for the launch control alone.

I have never seen the system in person- or how it works. I have experienced the launch control system in the newer Ferraris- if its working as well as that system Id get it in a minute.

The ESP system on the MBZ's is not designed for maximum brutality launching- merely to keep you from swapping ends at some inopportune time. I can only imagine what a nightmare it must be to get the two systems to work together.

The system provides on the fly adjustability of wheelspin levels, the ability to fine tune power cut levels by cutting fuel instead of spark, adjust traction control through turns, set wet vs. dry levels of grip, and provide datalogging.

I gave a link to this tread to the rep in Miami and thought he might have joined in already, but here is his better explanation from another forum.
