It just goes. I guess I need to go to the track soon. I may go get a tune from thunder, but i'm scared of removing all the TQ management.

Wow! A 5/7 and its still not tucking tire. Just doesn't seem right, but I guess these things really are jacked up from the factory. Looks great though, now you need at least some 22s to fill the wheel well, maybe some 24s.

nitro 2 drop shocks. I need to get the spacers that go in the eye of the top of the shocks. I know they are not in there, lol.
how much faster would my truck be without TQ Man.?

i dont know, but i do know that you will get better shifts, quicker accel., it wont slam into lower gear when you re-apply throttle from roll, and you will get better fuel economy.....if you behave!!
...oh, and you will actually be able to spin the tires!!!!!! weird concept..., i know!
i brought mine to the dealer to have the detent(kick down or down shift) adjusted so it dosent hesitate, and they told me it was normal under AGGRESSIVE driving. the truck had 1200 miles on it and hadn't seen 4k rpm's yet. it didn't know what aggressive meant, but the tranny was acting up.....TQ MANAGMENT.
