years ago gave me an a$$load of TM on the 1-2 shift.
(no tuning except HPP3).
I would be curious to see what the track results would be before and after TM.. That would be the only real way to know exactly how bad its hurting performance.. If its only a hundreth of a second difference then I will just leave mine alone.. if its going to give me a tenth.. then maybe its worth it

Since then I got HPTuners myself and deleted all the TM.
I plan on going to the track someday and trying a bunch of different tunes.
Could try bone stock and without.
I don't think it's going to be good because I hit TM 100% stock at least twice during some aggresive highway passing, it was like the ignition shut off.
And it was at maybe 75-80 mph, 100% tps so it wasn't the rev limiter.
I removed TM over two years ago with no problems. The person who rebuilt it said the trans was in good shape especially considering it had 62K miles and over 130 track runs.
The most noticeable thing TM does is pull several degrees of timing at each shift point during WOT. Any datalogging software will show this.
