Default How bad would 20%TQM be on 100k tranny?

If I got a Nelson Tune, How bad would it be on a 100k motor and how bad would it be to run only 20% Torque Management on a 100k tranny with a B&M Shift Kit with a vette Servo?

My tires bark consistantly at half throttle from 1-2 when the tires are cold and I have yet to install the vette servo.

has the motor been maintained well through it's life? probably won't hurt a thing. and the TQM just retards timing on the shift. it will be fine.

Ha...now that you mention it, my truck does feel a little retarded

seriously though...the motor maybe burns half a quart every 3-4k miles. Pretty good shape. I thought that removing the TQM is hard on the tranny.

ignore the oil burning, not an issue. as for the TQM hurting the tranny, well, heres the deal. GM put that in there for no other reason (in my opinion) than to up their ratings so to speak. will it make a tranny last longer? of course it will. anytime you make things easier on a part, the longer it is going to last. they never had TQM in the earlier days. hope this helps your decision a bit.
