My question about torque management relates to it in the Engine Section and the Transmission section. If you take it out of just one of them, is it like doing the exact same thing? Originally I did some adjustments with my truck using Hypertech years ago, and I found through HPTuners that one of their adjustments for shift firmness appears to be removing Torque Management completely from the Transmission section, but leaving it in the Engine section. I always hear that if you want to actually take out the Torque Management in your vehicle, you really are supposed to do it in the Engine section.
So I went to the drag strip last night (1/8th mile) to compare removing the Torque Management in one section, and leaving it in the other. My first two runs I removed it from the Engine section, but left the stock settings in the Transmission section. Both runs were a 9.1@75 mph. Next, I put it back to stock in the Engine section, but removed Torque Management in the Transmission section. I ran a 9.28@74 mph, ok so it appeared that actually did something. But then I ran two more times, same settings, and hit a 9.1@75 again both times. Each run I was spinning the tires, which wasn't helping the experiment, but the spinning seemed about the same length of time each run. I might have spun them too much in that 9.2 run, which is what got me that result. Unfortunately I didn't log any of the runs with the VCM Scanner like I wanted to, because the battery in my laptop was about to die out anyways.
So I'm just really curious, is there any difference with these two sections (Transmission TM vs Engine TM)? It really didn't feel like there was. Maybe my truck just isn't using the Torque Management to begin with? I'm not really sure.
