I'm TqMgt free for many, many 1000s of miles...I think a lot has to do with how you drive.

Or how much power you are making

I have not had TM for about 40k miles and have had no issues. I'm not taking the chance with 480ft.lbs. of TQ hahaha

There ya go. I'm making very little power...just bolt-ons worth. I don't see why a stock 4L60E can't hold 325-350rwhp. I don't see 4L60E with 450-500rwhp holding up behind a truck for a very long time due to the weight.

The shifts will feel crappy. Believe me, I know.
I have 100% engine TM and 50% tranny TM removed and through the shifts I can still feel that holding-me-back feeling.
You'll know what I mean when you drive it
I think I'm going to have more TM removed, it's annoying

OK my first tune from Allen I had 60% TM removed and it was a totaly different truck it was nice but then I just couldnt take it knowing that there was more power still in it so I got a Transgo+vette servo and cooler put in about 3 days ago and with the new tune I got all the TM removed. WOO HOO. Also since I got the shift kit i needed the line pressure put back to stock. I could not believe the difference in 60% TM removed and 100% TM removed it felt like it did when I went from the stock tune to the Nelson tune as far as noticable gains and SOTP I was amazed at my trucks performance. The shift kit along with the new tune was the most noticable gain I have seen so far. Spend the extra $200 bucks for the Transgo,servo,and cooler so you can get all the Tm removed. I dont remember how much tranny Tm was removed but Ill find out and I havent had a chance to hit the track and dyno but I will post results but I only have 80 miles on this new tune so I need to gove it a few hundred miels before i do those htings. Good luck and get the tune from Allen either way you go!

Like I said above. Take a truck with normal TM issues (not the extreme examples where the truck totally nose dives) and then change the tune with only a 100% TM removal and I doubt you see more than 1 10th at best in the 1/4mile.

I don't see an issue with removal at low power ranges but you had better reconsider it if you slap on a pwer adder

All I know is going from 60% TM removed to a tune that Allen made more agressive than before for other reasons and with all Tm removed as well as she Transgo+vette I noticed a big difference at all rpm levels. The first tune I got from Allen I had issues with the low end it felt like a dog damn near stock so he did make some changes in that area as well as removing the TM. All I know is that with the current mods I have even though I havent dynoed or been to the track since new tune it has been worth every peeny I have spent and it amazing the difference in now and the day I bought it' Although this doesnt mean much I can honestly beat up on all the stock 5.3's and some lightly modded 5.3's on a normal day!!!

my 8.1 you can REALLY feel the TM slow me down, cuz when sometimes when everything works out between my throttle and speed the thing just jets, im mean it actuallt feeles like the different between a SC and non SC.
