Thanks, Viper. That's what I thought.

They restrict oil to the rockers only. One end of the tube is die formed solid then a wire EDM is used to put a .030" hole in this end. This end goes towards the lifter and restricts the oil up the pushrod. This maintains oil above the plunger and keeps the lifter from "pumping up".. I have sold a few sets to engine builders for the LS1's. We have made hundreds of sets for the 5.0 Mustang guys.

Mikey, why delete it on M6's if it has no effect via timing tables at the track/street? I didn't include the dyno because you can't powershift on the dyno.

Mike what did you use to check the timing on the runs? When you say you saw no timing retard was it still using the max timing in the computer? Maybe TQ management is used only in certain conditions?
I am not on anybodies side on this matter its just for personal information and Mike has been to the track more times this season that I will in a lifetime I bet.

Tis' the season huh pal?
I'm not starting **** with you Mikey, I merely asked a question. Sorry to get your underwear in a bunch, I was just curious. This is not a thread about torque management. I too have issues with a package from JPR but I'm not airing them here. And yes I read the thread.
Have a great holiday.

HA!!! Check this out. My car was originally an M6. Well guess what? I just looked at my tune and there are still stock values in the TR tab. Imagine that, 9.65 @ 139.21 with TR! Guess it should runs 8's without eh?

9T9BlueTA,
The way that guy talks about his car on that efilive site makes me think it is an automatic. He says "the transmission downshifts to first" and "as the PCM calls the tranny to upshift to second"
The way he speaks reinforces Mike's point that torque management is a (significant) factor in A4 cars, but he does not address M6 cars.
This thead has taken me a half hour to read, but I am a slow reader.
Merry Christmas to all,
Matt

I wanted to let everyone know what a good guy Mike is. Here is what he has done for me, in spite of the fact I have given him alot of ****:
1.) Analyzed my dyno graphs to help diagnose the problems.
2.) Offered to leakdown and replace the ARE shortblock if needed.
3.) Offered me a sweetheart of a deal on a Rapid H/C package if I want it.

If I was you... I'd jump all over #3, that will cure what ills you.
