What is torque Management?
I was looking at getting a custom tune with my setup right now and I always read about removing TM. Is it some sort of governor? How much would I stand to gain if I got rid of TM? The vehicle in question is a 2001 Silverado SCSB with 4.8/4L60E and 3.73's including the mods listed below. Someone help me out here.

I have no idea what you will gain by removing tm, but I know its your computer taking the throtle away so you dont kill the tranny. Its pretty common for guys to have 40 to 60% removed and some go all the way.

You might get some tranny issues, but if you put in a shift kit I dont think youll have much to worry about, as long as your not too hard on it. I know wait 4 me performance can tune out say 40% for normal driving and have a tow/haul *** mode with 100% removed, for the occasional romp.

What I know about Torque Management (and it aint much) is that the PCM will "manage" the torque output at takeoff and between shifts by retarding the engine timing.
I wish I knew why GM is doing this. Is it because the trans/rear end are not strong enough? If that is the case, then removing much of it might hurt those parts.
If I knew what GM was thinking when they put TM in there, it would help me decide how much (if any) I want to remove.
Maybe it is there to make your tires last longer

I got good gains from removing the limiting TM form my 1997 truck.
