Default TQ management question (TBSS)

What are you tuner guys doing with the TQ management? Im worried about maxing it out due to severe tranny failure, but Im also losing about 10* of timing and 50 hp due to it..

If you are AWD you'll need alot more than a valvebody.. if it's 2WD you'll be in the clear

I have it all removed, my friend has a Wester's Tune (like me) and all removed and has no problems, 2k+mi and counting..I think that Torque management is blown out of porportion.. I didn't notice a "ridiculous" difference..more mods it's going back in (50% or so), unless I go to the track and it gets Stupid fast..heck maybe i'll run it with all and none and we'll see the difference?

Servos and a shift kit arent going to fix the fact that the 2-4 band and apply pin take the brunt of the 1-2 upshift on the AWD models. Anyone completely removing TM on an AWD might as well just buy a few spare transmissions Between that and the sprag breaking (even on stock trucks!) on the AWD it's pretty much a necessity. At least on the 2WD the tires can take the hit rather than the trans.
