Default Transmission Tuning

Happy Friday everyone,

One of the other members had asked me if the Dyno tune had tuned the power management on the transmission a little while ago. When I asked the tuner he said no he hadn't touched it... so that got me thinking. I reached out to another tuner who's a lot farther away from me but more versed in GM. He took a look at the tune and said for the most part it looked solid but that I still stood to gain another tenth or two with tuning the transmission.
I've tried searching all over for before and after's, does anyone have any concrete info on what extent tuning the transmission (TM, shift times ect), helps quarter mile times?

3.23 axle gears are holding you back more than ANYTHING.
FIX your gear ratio problem.

So I need to update my sig but they are actually 3.42s. I don't think there's much to be gain going to 3.73s for the cost.

Plus 9% torque at ALL rpm, in every gear, from a simple ring and pinion change.
Cheaper than a Volant "Air Intake"

Unless you have upgraded your transmission with performance parts and a shift kit, I would not recommend removing the stock "torque management" from the tune. If this is still the original trans, you are likely already on borrowed time.
