VDC "off" or fully off better?

So I took my G out for the first time with buddy and started to get the basics down. After reading about the VDC and the SLIP light always being on, I'm wondering if it is going to be beneficial to do some donuts first to get the SLIP light to stay lit to fully disable the VDC or if I would even notice a difference with just the VDS on and the SLIP light off? How much difference does it make?

When I go to the strip next time I am pulling the fuse, I got to look under there which box is it in?

And does pulling it do any lasting effects? Any problems when putting it back in?

The best way to get rid of the VDC is to get your ECU reprogramed. When they reprogram it they can make the VDC stay off when you turn it off but when you turn it back on it will still work. I got mine done from technosquare and believe me it make a big difference.

It kicks back in if you really start pushing the car... even when it's off.

So does reprogramming it make it "Off" or just off?
