I've done so much to this truck for looks, and nothing for power I can't wait until we can tune these 8 spds.

You can tune them already.

I thought with both EFILive and HP tunners you can pull the stock tune, but you don't really have access to everything for the 8l90 so you wouldn't be able to do a good thorough tune?

You don't have access to everything, but it still helps.

Simply by eliminating the torque management, you get a nice little kick, instead of that annoying fuel cutoff between the shift points.

Is it the torque management that causes the same on the 6 speed as well?

You don't want to eliminate it but you can reduce it in areas to greatly aid shift quality. 6 speeds and 8 speeds need some in small amounts for the trans to function reliably. The greatest improvements come from engine side tweaks related to TM and throttle functions

No, on the 6 speed is another table

So, who does TCM tuning? I've been looking up and down and can't seem to get any leads. My go to tuner just moved to Texas so I'm at a dead end.
