Default Tuning For Torque Management

Does anybody have a good handle on how to tune torque management. I am not interested in tuning it out completely but I don't want it to be overpowering. This is for a street car.

I've messed with a bit and come to prefer just
changing the spark retard vs desired torque
reduction table. Engine TM all gets 640lb-ft
(I wish) for max, you don't need to protect the
motor.

I have reprofiled the torque reduction vs torque
table (trans TM) also but you want to be subtle
there, one time I tried to implement a "constant
torque" profile and ended up with a very annoying
bog effect when I would "flutter" the pedal (like
blast out to the median, drop throttle and then
go, it'd dog me until I lifted again). Never did
understand it, only fixed it cut-and-try.

So in regards to the profile/tune that came with my DiablosportII (Slp version). Does it typically get rid of ALL the TM in their performance tune? (how about with the standard predator?) Or just a percentage of it? I understand that the upshift tm (abuse mode) is not touched.

What I did was simply load the performance tune onto the car's pcm and then I just turned TM back on. Only because I don't want it completely off and have no way of knowing how much has been removed from Slp.

*on a side note though: I did notice that when I left the "performance tune" alone, it DID seem to have more power. When I turned the TM back on it seemed to have less.

Is it safe to leave it the way the performance tune has it set?

So are you just limiting the spark retard? If so any ballpark figures. I did look at that table and there are some large retard numbers.
