Default Getting tune keep torque management on or off?

Okay so I had a guy put headers, tranny cooler, cai, cutout, and no cats on my car and I'm getting it tuned. The guy tuning it said keep it on to save tranny but I was wondering how many of you run with it off and what you think? thanks

I think mine is off everywhere but during the shifts. Then again, my transmission is held together by magic and miracles...

I left about 50% of the transmission torque mamagement in and removed all the engine torque management.

No I wouldn't, and didn't, turn it all off. There's enough people with broken transmissions - even with all the torque management on - that it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to do this to a DD.

to be honest the tq management isn't excessively intrusive (unlike the camaro, G8, TBSS, etc.) Only during shifts and like others have said, it could save your trans.
