Bleeding Brakes with Traction Control

I'm trying to finish my install on my 95 Z28 with the ATI P1SC and have gotten to the stage where I need to bleed my brake lines. However, I read in a service manual (Haynes) that I need to take the car to a dealer to bleed the brakes because of the traction control. I think this is bull, so I'm wondering what you guys do to bleed yours.

Thanks,

Seth

Well, I actually haven't done it yet thus far. I plan on doing it here in the next few days, so we'll see how it will go.
I am in the final stages (I hope) of the blower/fuel pump/guages install and hope to start the car maybe this weekend.

I will post here when I do it.

Well, I started to bleed the brakes today and they seem to bleed like any other lines I've ever done... With the exception that one of the lines I coupled together to relocate my traction control is leaking. Not good, the blower head needs to come back out now to get to the coupler. Ohwell, at least the motor starts and runs.

All I ask is that is does not blow too soon on me. I plan on building a short block as early as this next summer (MN winter is coming fast!). We'll see how she goes.

Yeah,

Working on your car and seeing your breath the whole time tells you that either you're nuts or a Minnesotan.
