RE: LS 3-750, good to know for someone else, but I don't want to come close to that.
I checked out that Megasquirt site...that landing page is awful and unreadable, and the product descriptions are full of spelling, broken links, and other errors. As far as the traction features, I didn't see anything other than launch features that limit spark/rev, or if something like this is EPA compliant. Not trying to disqualify what you're saying, but the Megasquirt is a poor example if it's supposed to represent actual traction control that limits individual wheel slip on launch and acceleration. Other aftermarket ECUs seem to indicate they won't work to pass inspection, but I'm sure there are workarounds. I live in NY, so I'm sure they require whatever standard smog equipment for the year engine I get.
Traction control requires a lot of features that the SL-C doesn't have like wheel sensors and ABS systems, has anyone had success installing it in cars like this?
Jeff, I would recommend getting very familiar with what you need to pass NY inspection before you buy an engine. Every state is different. For example, NY may require cats, but not ODBII.
Also, the new SLC uses X-tracker hubs which I think you can purchase with either passive or active wheel speed sensors, so there are a number of solutions out there to choose from for traction control especially for LS engines.
