Software Traction Control

What do you think about this feature :
The purpose is to add a feature to enable limiter if engine acceleration is above a fixed value.
This feature will be enabled above a fixed rpm (ex : 4000rpm).
A stock engine is not able to increase its rpm more than about 200rpm in 1 second with correct traction.
If this value is above, that means the front wheels are sliping.
So 2 users values are needed :
1 : activation rpm (ex : 4000 rpm)
2 : acceleration max (ex : 200 rpm / s)

possiblity to disable this by setting accelaration max to 1000 and/or activation rpm to 12500 like over features.
I think it is not a lot of coding to make this, i already tried this systeme on racing ECU, it's great.

i second that notion for traction control!!

Hondata, what do you think to add this ?

i third this notion

Motec and MSD has this kind of traction control which is activated by a switch.

You set activation RPM and rise rate in terms of rpm/sec.

It is a great idea for first gear. I dunno if it's plausible.

Traction control needs the use of higher resolution wheel speed sensors, like the ABS sensors.

Also AEM works like this you set the desired acceleration rate of the engine , No wheel speed sensors needed, not 100% true traction control but very simple and with a bit of tunning you should be pretty close.

Cracking idea

i would like to see this option as well
