I'll be getting a tune soon. I've got an intake, ported TB and exhaust. I'm wondering how our trucks respond to the complete removal of the torque management software? Does it get pissy?

Done by someone with experience, no problems!

 

It'll be AVT. I live in MA.....

I should also ask....how drastic of a change is it JUST removing theh TM? The tune itself will improve things, but I'm wondering how much of it has to do with the removal of the TM.

 

^ It was commonly tuned out in the 98-2002 F-Bodys with no issues.

 

you just compared a ford and a gm :kiki:

 

You sure about that??

Not F-Series... F-Body is the Camaro's and Firebirds up to 2002 98-2002 autos were equipped with the 4L60E.. Does not include the 2010+ Camaros.

 

I never understood the point of the torque management....don't people want to actually know what their vehicle is doing.....not let some computer tell you if it's safe to stomp your foot to the floor?

 

they have to keep stupid people from hurting themselfes in incliment situations.

sadly, we get cought up in the bullshit.

 

Seems to me, if they can't drive they should stay off the road. Natural selection is out there for a reason, lol

 

ill go sit in the corner now.

 

I AM on a truck site, so it's to be expected. Not everyone knows body codes. I've been into these cars since 95 or so.

We all know that's never gonna happen.. That's why we have insurance.. :lol: Some of the cotton-tops out there shouldn't be driving either.

 

agreed, but....

 

how about removing TM with a 5spd?? .. what are the gains with that.. will i actually be able to tow 2 jetski's up the boat ramp without having to drop the clutch every 2 feet.. lol

sadly thats how it was the last time.. kinda steeper than we first thought.

 

You'll noticed it. A Tune would really help you out because you have those heavy 31s and steel wheels and only the 4 cyl.

 

Hi, check this out.

 

do all 355s have torque management?

 

i for one had the TM removed in my truck with a 3.5L 5 SPD and i noticed a big differnce. all the guy did was i think just zeroed all the TM settings. before i felt the tm kick in and now i feel all power when i want it. he used a web site i forget the name and from there he could do a full settings tune + a full wideband tune. problem is he has no dyno but like 3 miles of straight road....soooo thats where his fun comes in lol. BTW i have traction control and you have the option to turn it on or turn it off. my tune cost me $200 with wideband

I live in St Peters MO and I'm curious to know where this shop is.

 

Greg's Tuning Operation

i have seen you post but never though to look to see where your from haha. we need to meet up sometime and go down together. i still need my wideband finished. dude is good at his job. take a look at the cars he works on....also no video of it but he did a 06 i think it was 900hp twin turbo gto

 

I live in Michigan and drive on snowy roads all the time. The first thing I do is turn the crap off even if theres a sheet of snow/ice on the road. I thought my engine was f-in up the first time it came on in snowy roads. TC is a good idea on paper, but I dont really see it saving too many accidents. Unless it does something to help braking in the rain. I havent seen it help in the snow. It just kills the engine when trying to do very weak tail whips.

 

Traction control really helps during ice storms. It is true that nothing is truly 100% effective in all situations and any vehicle can lose control on ice, I am a firm believer in TC in MOST situations. TQ managment is another story, although it is possible to overload the system without it, but that is in extreme cases.

 

Or a 1976-1980 Dodge Aspen\Plymouth Volare......LOL (sorry I had too).

 

guess what a mn12 is?

 

I've had most of my TM gone with a PCMforLess tune, and the TC is gone with it. I've put 40,000 miles on since the tune with no problems. The firm shifts and almost no TM are great. I outran a Charger (V6 of course) towing my little boat trailer and had a great time being between a toyota pu and F150 from a stoplight, got both of them. I also have only the rear cat and have a homemade cai. and running stock size 225's. When the dealer reflashed it as a favor, it drove sluggish and sloppy, the way it came. I could feel the timing get retarded and the auto trans get soft as I got on it. I couldn't wait to get it retuned.
