ok i have a shiftkit and vette servo and im debating on when i get my tune to have the torque management reduced to 20% , would this be good or bad and why? whats your experience with having torque management reduced?

 

Do you have a higher stall torque converter?

 

not yet, but im planning on geting 2800 or 3000 at the same time as doing the tune , like i said PLAN, may get the tune first, but dont care to brake stuff

 

well with my experience, i left about 20-30% left in the tune due to the stock TQ converter... With no TQM my truck would bark the tires at part throttle and spin them at WOT on teh 1-2 shift... Adding some TQM back in the tune eliminated the tires from barking at part throttle and kept them from spinning at WOT... Which actually helped my track times!!! When I added my TQconverter i was able to reduce it even more... I like to keep reducing it until the tires spin on the shift then add a little bit back in...

 

well i havent took it to the track yet but as it sits right now my truck will spin at part and at WOT spin all through first and part of 2nd, but its like it drops speed before it stops spinning , wasnt sure if that was because of torque management or not. its really annoying though

 

The only i left TQM in my tune was to prevent the tires from spinning/barking at Part throttle and the harsh shifts, which i have been told is BAD for the tranny... How was your shift kit setup? Did you put any washers in it?

 

i have no clue on that, it was in the truck when i got it, all i've put on the truck so far is a 1-2 vette servo, im still trying to get all my ducks in line to speak , i have the money for the tune saved up but waiting till i figure out what to set my management to and whats best for the shift points, and im still not sure what all a custom tune can do, what i know is

change shift points, rev limiter, change cut off speed, change for gear size , tire size, change torque management, and not sure what else .....
