I noticed I have more HP Tuners credits than I thought I did. I was planning on removing 80% of the torque management, EGR, and VATS. It's a 97 Z71 that is driven a couple times a week and is used to tow. It's completely stock and has never been driven hard. Is it worth my time to remove it? Should I do anything else. Keep in mind I'm a novice tuner so I can't do a lot.

 

I think the black box vortec trucks are pre torque management day's. You just up the shift points and the line pressure and do a few tweaks to the TCC lock up and you are good to go. Torque management to the best of my knowledge only began with the 99 up NBS trucks.

Failing sungear shells and other tranny hardparts in the 96-99 OBS trucks are a huge reason for TQ management into the NBS trucks that preceded them.
