I am planning on getting a Nelson tune because I have heard rave reviews. I have a 2000 RC SB 5.3 with ASP pulleys, KN FPIK, Borla exhaust and a Superchips tune. I detuned the shift points and got a corvette servo installed trying to be a little easier on the trans. Now the best 0-60 time i can get is 6.8-7.0 which is what it would do practically stock without the tune. What the heck is up? Is the slow times because of T.M. I found out that i wasted 400 on a crappy Superchips tune! Now I am planning on getting a Nelson tune I want to make my truck as fast as it can be how much TQ managment should be removed. What better times can i expect from Nelsons.

 

with your mods you can go zero tq management and be ok. however, i just had 80 percent taken out of my truck. it feels much better (i also reduced my line pressure to be safe) but i can still feel tq management just a little bit. instead of a big hesitation, i only have a small amount. also, make sure you take out engine abuse mode....

 

with only a servo in there 80% is the max i would take out. you will need to put in a shift kit to be the safest. it will help apply the clutch packs and hold them to better maintane the shifts. i can tell you that 80% tqm removal is a big difference. oh yay. the nelson tune is awsome.

 

but it's nothing like 100% takin out.
for that tho you will need a built trans. there is nothing like it, the truck just keeps going, Ive got a 4.8L turning 2.0X in the 60's

 

laeve it alone....

it will keep you from messing up your transmission. extra insurance when you get a high stall, cooler, and a shift kit.

I would just leave it alone.

80% will alow it to run great and not tear it to pieces. with a trans go and the servos you can remove it all with no probs. there are people here that have been running there's like this for years and they are still running.

 

just a thought. When you install a shift kit, transgo requires torque man. to be deleted 100 percent.

 

I will installing a transgo and some servos on my truck and was considering taking 80% of tm.... Looks like I will taking out 100% of it.

 

what happens if you don't take 100 percent tq management out when you install the transgo. i am about to install one in my truck and i was just gonna leave it at 80 percent removed......

 

I don't understand why you have to have it 100% deleted for a shift kit? TQ mangament takes out timing.

My personal opinion is to leave TM in there and work around it a bit. You will not gain much by removing it other than it "feeling" better. Just like you will not see a gain at the track with a shift kit. It's a feeling thing not a make you go faster thing.

I crack up when I see these ganster wannabes roll by my work going maybe 35mph and chirping 2nd gear because they installed such an agressive shift kit. The stupid *** cars would be lucky to run a 16sec ET but they bark harder than a Radix powered 5.3L regular cab 2wd
