When you fisrt start up the car press and hold the ESP botton above the radio/nav while the cars indash buzzer is still beeping. after about 8 seconds you will hear another beep which means the traction control is 90% disabled.
If you just press the botton trac control is only disabled about 40% whis still prevents wheel spin/slides.

nice ride. it takes a bit getting use to the ESP/TCS on these cars....especially from a TA that has like 0 assist. she seems to hold her own though. 2 mods i highly suggest are a CAI (i have a??i dont even remember 
) and sways bars tighten the car up immensely. keep the shiny side up, and keep an eye on the rear tires

Its definitely a world of difference going from my 370cid Formula to my 370cid Charger In the Charger, a quick blip of the throttle adds a couple MPH. In the Formy, a quick blip of the throttle makes some tail out sideways action

To further disable the torque management, you can pull fuse 17..................however this will also disable your ABS. 
We (LX community) have also figured out what wire to cut so you can simply apply a switch to make this "on the fly".
T/A - the CAI you have is the AFE II.........a nice piece.
The hiflow cats and cat back also are nice things that really do make some power.
The LX community have seen numerous 6.1's dyno @ 400 RWHP w/ the AFE II, cat back, and cats.
Another good buy is the B&G flash which will give a 6.1 full throttle in first gear............limit ETC even more..................bump timing..................and firm up the shifts.

I've seen some folks switch the +12V to the accelerometer module, which lights the MIL right? I'm thinking pulling the fuse is easy enough for me, like when at the track. Don't need ABS at the track anyway 
The B&G flash sounds like a winner for sure!
