Had mine deleted in '03 along with some other changes after my TC install. It's my understanding it's more noticeable on the 01/02 cars...and can just be modified instead of being completely deleted...no problems but I don't put a lot of miles on my car either. No expert, just throwing in my .02

torque managment is like when a person with a MT takes his foot off the gas and then pushed the clutch and shift for AT... it is meant to keep your tranny from breaking... i think in 98-99 camaros it is 15 % of the toque is taken away at the 1-2 shift and on the 00-02 i think it is like 40%.

I deleted 100% of the TM on a 2002 SS that a guy I work with has, he went from 12.8 to 12.6 in the 1/4 with no other changes. The car was dyno tuned before and only had some of it taken out.

I had my TQ management removed and dyno tuned with a stock converter (Shift points, firmness, TQ, etc.). At WOT it kicks hard so I see why GM put it on to make it last longer but my performance is better and it pulls hard. It's my daily driver, So far no problems and had it off for a couple months. See my sig for dyno results....Torque is not bad for an A4 with just bolt-ons
