Default torque management question

For a daily driver, with just a few bolt-ons, what should I do with the torque management? I'm going to be getting a few things done like rear o2's and air injection turned off, and a few other settings changed. Nothing major. Just figured I'd do something with the torque management while I'm at it. It'll be a while before I put a stall in as well. Any suggestions?

If you are putting money into making it faster why would leave torque managment in it?????? Makes no sense to me cutting power on every shift. Its nice for soft mushy shifts and the occasional 50yr old lady that buys a F-body.

I've been too lazy to check into seeing what it actually does.

No, mushy shifts for little old ladies is the
line pressure settings and shift adaptation
time.

Torque management is how your engineers
delude themselves and management into
thinking a 600 lb-ft rated transmission can
survive behind a 350 lb-ft motor multiplied
by a 1.8:1 STR torque converter.
