The ACD computer has maps just like the engine ECU. You can tune the maps to be more aggressive and dial in the locking response of the center diff.
what are the downsides of this? any wear and tear on the center diff, etc?

If you unplug the AYC its fully open so you'll get one wheel spinning.... thats sucks even worse.... i wish there was a way to lock the ayc with the computer...
teph this is what your wanting to do as well correct?? or at least control the split??

For drag racers:
Going full open or full lock is the best ways to prevent breakage. One of the bad things about the ACD is you can easily spin the fronts on a hard launch with an unmodded ACD. The computer then tries to lock up the ACD, causing the TX to fail. Sometimes it will push the gears into the transmission damaging the transmission.
Going full lock should help the fronts from breaking free from the rear.
Going full open will reduce traction but should be fairly easy on the rear end and TX case. However if you wheel hop its every bit as bad, or worse than any other option.
So it will be great to have the ability to flash the ACD for drag racers to make the drivetrain more reliable.

IF however you were able to control the AYC ecu you could tell it to be actively splitting 50% power to each wheel 100% of the time to keep it locked or under certain load conditions etc..... (in theory)
If im wrong please let me know.....
