Default Poss trans contorl module help, esp for those with diablo

Vector motorsports has just released alternative tcm's for tbss's. One for a "race" application (no torque management) and one that allows interface with after market "hand held scanners". They are both $175.00 from Vector. This makes me think that all you diablo tuned ls4's could buy a tcm over the counter and send it to vector to get it tuned (with either the std vector tune or with no torque mgmt or however). You would have to call/e-mail vector for an exact price on a tcm tune. The nice thing is, that once a tcm is learned to the vehicle it can be unplugged and plugged back in, so you could have a daily driver tcm and a track/Fri or Sat night tcm. Also you could call vector and see if they can send you a tcm that can be programmed by an aftermarket scanner aka diablo (not sure if poss on a w body). Also, I have heard rumors that vector and diablo are teaming up and you could soon be able to download a vector tune with a diablo scanner, and should have the tcm support along with it.

from an email I recieved...

"Yes, we can do that for the MCSS. Let us know where your REV limiter is set
and how firm you would like your shifts.
The cost would be the same as the TBSS."


and as mentioned on their site:

"Our TCM's are brand new units (yours to keep not junkyard pieces or cores) programmed to work in harmony with popular handheld units. This TCM incorporates some of the features that made our tunes famous such as a 50% torque management reduction and crisper/higher shift points to boot.

This unit can be swapped with your stock unit at anytime for any reason and is yours to keep."
