If your talking about the TAC module no.

As for TM are you talking engine or transmission?

I got a few new fields (07 L92/6L80E) under the transmission TM section.

well, I'm not a tuner, so I don't know anything about using hptuners, LOL ..... But the guy that tuned my truck uses it, and he said that he couldn't get rid of the sloppy throttle feel because it wasn't supported in hptuners yet. He said he was able to turn off all torque management, but said it didnt support adjustment like for older trucks. All i wanted to accomplish from getting my truck tuned was getting rid of TM and get a crisp throttle response ..... Can it be done?

The new E38's are completely different than the 10 year old LS1 platform pcm's

New technology=new & different tables

So what might be in a 99-07 LS1 pcm very well might not be in an 07+ E38 pcm.

I think it can. I removed all the TM which might have been a bad idea because it hits extremely hard both on the upshift and downshift. As far as throttle response- haven't had any issues there myself so I don't know for sure. It could be your power enrichment settings that is causing your sloppy throttle and there are lots of adjustments available for fuel control. Good luck.

Oh, yeah I forgot to mention...
You have an external TCM while I have an internal one so the TM settings might not be exactly the same. We both have the E38 ECM so those options should be available to you.

well, what I mean by sloppy throttle is that I hit the throttle and I get the big wait and then it goes... I heard that the throttle blade opens slowly even if you give it 100% throttle input and that is what i want to get rid of. If i ask for 100%, that is what I want to get, everytime i ask for it (like a mechanical throttle control does). I think its ridiculous that these trucks have all these limitations.....

They suck part throttle. I am gonna just get HPtuners I guess and try to adjust what I can, then send the file to someone with tuning experience for a better performing tune. I also like being able to return to the stock file anytime I may need to. Hopefully nelson or wheatley can give these trucks some throttle responce.
