    I dont approve of removing torque management since that helps your car shift.

    But sticky worthy for sure.

    Removed is fine, if you have a good trans. Maybe dave can chime in some time with what he likes to do.

    hmm my car has 220k on it and trans was rebuilt around 60k if i remember right, so sounds like torque management is staying on on my car for a while....lol

    Can we just take it off for performance shift somehow? I'm not near my car to get the laptop or I'd check.

    im a genV on a 3.2, should i not get rid of TM? i left torque reduction alone.

    also when you say "Zero out" on the timing table, do mean to go with the stock table or make all the numbers in it "0"?

    If your car wont shift WOT then you need tq mangament in the shifts, what timing table are you asking about? I zero out the temp modifiers so that it is just what I command it all the time.
