I have a stock 4l60e with a shift kit should I turn the abuse modes of with my diablosport? oh and it's a big shift kit

 

Yes, TM with a shift kit is a waste, hell without a shift kit it can slow you down.
It amazes me how people do all these mods and only cut back on TM, it's a waste of mods.

 

Are you talking about abuse mode or torque management? They are different. Torque management limits the torque during the shifts to help the life of the tranny. Abuse mode from what I have read is activated when you foot brake the car to do like a burnout. It puts the tranny and car into limp mode and can severly hinder the launching ability of the car. I disabled my abuse mode and I no longer have this issue.

As far as torque management since you have the stock tranny I would not completely remove TM, just half the values. You can completely remove TM but I doubt your tranny will live long like that.

 

How do you disable these features?

 

You need some sort of a tuning system. I think the handhelds might be able to do some of it but not all. To do it all you need something like HPtuners or EFILive. You might also be able to find a shop in your local area that has one of these systems and see how much they would charge you to do it.

 

Abuse mode is under the TM tab, I consider it TM.

I still wonder why people do all these mods to add power and keep TM to reduce power. TM will pull your timing to where your 600HP LSX delivers damn near zero until it cuts out, whats the point.



Also making no sense...abuse mode is there to protect the trans while doing a burnout (your words) yet you disabled yours and can now do burnouts, BUT you kept some degree of TM.
ANY TM is going to slow you down at some point.
Even a 100% stock car is going to be hit with TM when driven hard, knowing that why bother spending money on and mods?

 

If you are referring to my actual car I have completely removed TM and abuse mode. I did not keep any degree of TM in my car. I agree with what you said completely, however, I also have a built transmission that should be up to the task of handling the torque. I just suggested that since the OP has a stock transmission he might want to keep some degree of TM just so his transmission doesn't take a poop. I have no personal experience but I have always read that a stock transmission will not hold up to the TM being completely removed.

 

No, just TM in general. There is a big thread around here somewhere that asks who is running a high stall converter with a stock trans.

A lot of people are and I bet they aren't running TM, they can't be.

 

Torque Mgt has been deleted on mine!

 

WTF is TM Stock tranny wth a Yank BTW

 

I wouldn't remove tq management if I were you. I only removed mine about half way and the trans took a ****. If you do go to do it, lower it just alittle.

 

How much will you gain at the track and where would you gain time after deleting tq mgmt and abuse mode on the tranny/engine. My tuner just deleted both along with deleting power enrichment delay ? what ever that is. My line pressure got bumped up to 96psi and we moved timing up to 28. I still have the stock tranny with 3400 stall and 400 rwhp. Before that I ran 12.2, 113mph with a 1.79 60ft. I really thought I should run high 11's and was hoping all these changes would do the trick if my tranny holds out.

 

I have a d/s predator and i'll tell you what it says under the settings: it's called tq management...hmm curious everything was already off I think LOL wow not bad for a 4l with 113 + miles on it.

 

mine has no TM anymore and cammed/stalled on the factory 100k trans. stop whining and delete that ****. mine clicks off shifts like clockwork at the track.

Yeah about that turnin off the tq abuse modes LOL, I noticed a degree increase now instead of 210 degrees it's runnin 215 plus for some reason. but I did notice a difference.

 

Do you have a car, truck, what? And WTF is a big shift kit?

 

This is an old thread but maybe a few people still following it? I'm reading as I'm having a heck of a time tuning TCC lockup in HP Tuners. I get knock like crazy... but not sure what the PIDs are telling me as there's no good definition of EXACTLY what the PIDs are logging other than their name. I digress...

Torque Management only pulls timing on shifts. It's not a bad thing and won't rob much time. Modern engines can tear apart most any transmission, even a built one. I'd not zero it out. As for limp mode I don't know.

I'm trying to figure out right now if TM and or limp mode is showing up as timing pulled in my Knock Retard PID on HP Tuners. Otherwise, I cannot for life of me figure out why it's pulling timing. If I force 12:1 zero knock even with TCC lockup. So I go back to closed loop 14.7:1 and I get knock around TCC events. However, many times the TCC hasn't even locked yet. Super confused. I have a Circle D torque converter and a P01 PCM. My VE table is dialed in, running stock spark tables, and my PE is touch on rich / safe side. I put PE to 12.2 across the board.

 

Torque Management robs almost nothing if tuned right but saves shafts from nasty punches (I set mine for 0.25 sec and 100% and it shifts like DSG with farting in exhaust and almost no punch 1-2 2-3)
You can disable abuse mode in Firmware for tranny and for engine (like piston protection ) to work only with TM and be sure that pull down timing was only because torque reduction for shift up
But if you not sure in your engine tuning -disable all "fuses" can cost you your engine
