    Differential score protection. It's separate from traction control, and can only be disabled with a tune. You're not breaking both loose properly and the PCM is seeing this by the different wheel speeds of the front wheels. Huge differences in speed in the front wheels is how you score the center pin of the differential, and it explodes for lack of a better word.

    Your car is protecting itself.

    no, it wont go away with a mail order PCM. they leave a lot of the traction control and abuse mode stuff alone. you need someone to sit in your passenger side and change what you want them to change.

    when i was tuning i was knocking pretty much purely from the car trying to pull timing because i was making too much power. i had to keep raising the thresholds on everything until finally it would let me make the power without trying to pull timing on me for making like 300 ft/lbs of torque or more.
