The TMS-Drag-Pro-MAP is our most advanced Self-Learning Traction Control system. By monitoring the average rate of acceleration of the drive shaft, and reacting to any sudden increases in that rate. The TMS-Drag-Pro-MAP will automatically adjust to changing conditions, keeping the internal settings at optimal levels. The user can adjust the overall sensitivity of unit to achieve the desired results.

The TMS-Drag-Pro-MAP is designed for the pro level racer who wants the most advanced Self-Learning technology, combined with enhanced adjustability and multi stage corrections to cut power more precisely than a single stage unit.

These units are perfect for racers looking for the unmatched precision of our Self-Learning units to get more aggressive with their tune ups, utilizing all of the adjustability that the TMS-Drag-Pro-MAP has to offer.

The TMS-Drag-Pro-MAP is compatible with most drag racing ignitions systems and timing accessories in use today. It is also compatible with the new AMS-2000 boost controllers.

The Drag-Pro-MAP is simple the best, most advanced traction control on the market today !

Self-Learning units like the TMS-Drag-Lite-MAP or

TMS-Drag-Pro-MAP automatically adjust to the continually changing conditions as you go down the track.

Traction Control Panel

The Software serial interface is used to adjust advanced tuning features of the traction control system.

These tuning features can be used to fine tune the system to exactly what the user desires.

On a Drag Racing system, this includes being able to tune the Drive Shaft RPM at which the system becomes active, as well as the Drive Shaft RPM at which the system can be turned off.

The user can also define a "Null Zone". The Null Zone is a window of DS RPM in which the unit can be set to reduce a lesser amount of power, or make no correction at all.

The user can also tune the length of corrections to fine tune the system to what works best on their vehicle.

The software based interface is priced at $149.95, and easily installs on your computer. The Traction Control is connected to the computer via a serial cable or through a secure wireless Bluetooth connection. Tuning is achieved through a few simple mouse clicks.

Hand Held Programmer

The Handheld serial interface is used to adjust advanced tuning features of the traction control system.

These tuning features can be used to fine tune the system to exactly what the user desires.

On a Drag Racing system, this includes being able to tune the Drive Shaft RPM at which the system becomes active, as well as the Drive Shaft RPM at which the system can be turned off.

The user can also define a "Null Zone". The Null Zone is a window of DS RPM in which the unit can be set to reduce a lesser amount of power, or make no correction at all.

The Handheld interface is priced at $299.95, and may be more convenient at the track.

The Traction Control is connected to the Handheld via a small cable or through an optional secure wireless Bluetooth connection. (Additional $150.00)

The small size, simple keypad, and backlit display make changes quick and easy.

Null Zone

The Null Zone is a window of DS RPM in which the unit can be set, to reduce a lesser amount of power, or make no correction at all.

The Null Zone is useful for fine tuning the amount of power reduced at different points on the race track. While you may need to cut 100 HP in the early part of a run, that same amount of reduction may be too much in the later part of the run.

By using the Null Zone to tune the system, the user can keep the amount of retard optimized to where the vehicle is on the track.

Another example of how the Null Zone can be implemented is on a clutch car like a Top Fuel Dragster. At a DS RPM of say 6000 RPM, As the clutch locks up and the drive shaft and engine begin to couple one to one, the tires will often start to slip. Reducing power at this point will cause the clutch to fully lock prematurely and actually cause tire spin.

Using the Null Zone to limit the amount of power reduced, or prevent reduction completely between 5700-6200 RPM can avoid this situation altogether.

While these interfaces are not necessary, they do make getting the maximum potential out of your Traction Control much easier!

Self Learning

Self-Learning systems, such as our Lite and Pro series, compare the rate of acceleration of the driveshaft to a calculated threshold value that is constantly updated based on the average of the previous measurements. This update occurs on every driveshaft revolution.

So, if the last 1/8 of a turn of the drive shaft is faster than the average of the last full revolution, then a slip is detected.

Through this very advanced Patented process, the system constantly accounts for track conditions, tire condition, etc. to constantly update the internal settings. These settings are updated as many as 800 times a second to keep the unit calibrated to exactly the right settings, regardless of changing conditions.

Basically, the systems learns the average rate of acceleration of the driveshaft, and if there is a sudden spike in RPM above that learned rate, then a correction is made.

With the Self-Learning feature, the user doesn’t have to try and figure out the DS RPM rate of change and set a “Threshold”, the system does it for you, every driveshaft revolution!

The user does have an adjustment referred to as “Mode” that sets the overall sensitivity of the system to make a correction based on the extent of the tire slippage. By adjusting the Mode, the user can tune the system to correct larger slips, while not reacting to smaller, harmless, slips.

The biggest difference in our systems is the Speed and the Self-Learning abilities. Other systems “brag” that their TC works 10 times a second—our older systems worked 20 times a second, and while it would help “save a run”, it just was not fast enough to help you go faster.

The new systems (since Jan 2009) work every 1/8th of a turn of the driveshaft. At 3000 RPM DS speed, a very critical area for tire slip, it measures the DS RPM 400 times a second, at 6000 DS RPM it measures 800 times a second!

The system then processes those measurements 50 times a second (typically), and as fast as 100 times a second, to calculate acceleration change (DS RPM Delta). (We can actually use up to 30 triggers, which would be 1500 times a second at 3000 DS RPM, and 3000 times a second at 6000 DS RPM !!)
