Shift Kit Question I am installing a trans go shift kit into my 00 silverado. I already have TCI 3000 stall, and I am wondering how important it is to have my torque management reprogrammed. Would it make my truck undriveable without reprogramming?

No, all it's going to do is effect the WOT shifts. TqMgt pulls timing at the shifts (well as well as normal driving and such too) and decreses line pressure at the shift. Basically the computer is going to freak out a bit.
I drove with a STOCK tune in my Z71 for about 4 months w/ a TransGo and both billet servos and once I removed all the TqMgt I could tell the shifts were cleaner. They were basically fighting each other. It will still be fully drivable but to get the most out of the TransGo and your stall, get that TqMgt deleted.
Also, keep the feed holes in the sep plate sensable (sp?). ~.082 1-2; ~.093" 2-3; ~.082 3-4. The washers also in the 1-2 accumulator most of the truck guys don't use as they add some harshness to the shifts.
I'd also get that 'Vette servo at least and the aluminum 1-2 accumulator piston.

www.kdsperformance.com the Vette servo is just for the 1-2 upshift and the 3-2 downshift. It's about $15, shift quality is slightly better than the OE servo. I believe the OE is a 553 and the Vette is a 554. That aluminum 1-2 piston is about $9 I think there.

The Corvette style servo is a 093 or 95-1. With the updated "D" type sealing rings, they sell for about $23.00. Trans-Go has backed off on their valve body hole size modifications over the last few years because of the "torque management", & the complaints they received. If you disable the "torque management" you can drill the valve body plate (feed hole sizes) back to the earlier versions of this kit, (which will handle more torque & horsepower along with longevity). This is what I do to all of my Trans-Go valve body kits that I use in my 4L60E's.
