Default ??? Does ABS Control Traction during Launch ???

I unpluged my ABS module because I was getting this crazy noise during launch and when my rear tires started slipping, it sounded like something was trying to control the wheel spin. I dont have traction control, so it must be the ABS computer.
Also I get no traction what so ever now, car is going sideways when I lauch it, enormous wheel spin.
So the question is, if i go to a drag strip tonight, do I keep that unpluged or should I plug it back in?
Let me know what you guys think.

p.s.

my car is 2000 a4tqm/71elimi/unitronics

What do you run for tires? What have you done to your motor to get that much power down?

Default so that's a big turbo or something? Yeah, the ABS will try to reduce wheelspin up to 20 mph or so...

why are you dragging your car with winter wheels and tires? That's pretty silly.
