TQ Management Disabled Only at WOT? Is there a way to disable TQ Management only at WOT or say, above 5000 RMPs with HPTuners 1.4 or 1.6, and keep it active for dinking around town to keep shifts softer and easier on the car, or is it an all or nothing thing? How do you go about deleting it anyway? I poked around in HPTuners 1.4 and couldn't figure it out. I saw the Abuse Mode stuff, but didn't know what to change.
Transmission>Torque Management is where the Torque Reduction
vs Torque vs Gear table lies. You could do something like flip it
over to it pulls less torque at high than low output. But I don't
recommend it. I tried to make a constant-torque profile on mine
for a while, (requiring a varying % pullout to keep a constant
torque) but this still kept pulling big timing, and gave me an
occasional "hang" where I would get stuck ina low-torque state
that only cleared when I let off the throttle.
I now prefer just raising the value in the "Max KR vs RPM"
table (Engine>Spark Retard) to something like 15-20 degrees,
this puts a floor under the TM spark pullback and leaves you
enough room for some KR protection. If you set this strip to
your max-observed-CylAir spark advance table value less
8-10 degrees that should be plenty of cushion, give the trans
some but not total torque cut through the shifts and not
bother you at hard acceleration. A lower floor = more cut,
set it where you can stand it.

I only drive the car around 3-5,000 miles a year, and most of the time when I'm driving it, I'm DRIVING it, so do you think I'd be fine without it? My tranny is a built 4L60E unit. How do I get rid of it completely?
