Im pretty sure torque management is that feeling when u go around a corner and ur at part throttle and it feels like ur engine isnt moving as fast as ur foot tells u to to keep from burning up tires. So give it a try

TM pulls timing. It is there because the stock transmission is weak. With a stock transmission I'd want to leave some..

Torque Management (TM) is really noticeable at wide open throttle from a complete stop and before transmission shift points. If you go full throttle from a stop and it feels like your truck is only at half throttle, you still have TM in your tune. If you have TM, your truck should also feel like it loses power right before the transmission shifts.

I just reduced between the shifts by 50%. Then raised the line pressure a bit. I reduced the abuse mode, and trac control also. This is what seemed to keep it from spinning a tire.

On my old Tahoe, I pulled it all but I had an FLT trans too. No problems in 65K of flogging.

I have not removed any yet on my new Denali. Just getting ready to load my engine and trans tune this weekend (blackbearperforemance). Looks like he didn't pull any TM yet per efilive. I just assume take small steps with the trans.
