No Traction Control on a s52 swap?

[96cali]

I am looking at aquiring a '97 Ti with S52 swap. The current owner says that traction control is not possible to keep when you do a swap. Is this true to anyone's knowledge? Can you elaborate why? Maybe the donor M3 did not have it? The swap was done by a very reputable shop in Boston.

No ASC scares me a little because even in Cincinnati we get some snow and icy conditions. Is this insane for winter driving even with Blizzaks?

Thanks for your help!
