    How Much TM to Put In a Built Trans?

    I have a 2005 Silverado ECSB 4x4 with a Magnuson Radix blower running 7 psi nearing 400 HP.

    I had my 4l60e built up to 4l65e specs and aftermarket frictions with Sonnax's Performance Pack and both of their Super Hold servos.

    It shifts very nicely. It's pretty firm and really fast from one gear to the other. I really like it but am a bit noobish and fear not having any TM in the tune. Can I get your opinion on this? Can you give me some starting numbers to add if you think I should?

    I don't do the track thing but will wind her out here and there.

    Abuse mode id disabled.
    Both Torque Reductions tables are all zeros.
    Desired Torque table has from 0 to 600 rpms set to 100, 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, and the rest zeroed.

    For a built trans it easily should be able to handle 400 hp with out TM. If you are worried about the tranny you can always leave 25% of TM in.

    I think from all of the testing I have done at the track and on a gtech with a few vehicles now that the whole idea of removing ALL of the torque management and knocking off so many tenths by doing so is kind of bogus.

    On my truck and this is doing several different runs in the same temps and humidity going from 100% torque management enabled in the tune to all of it completely removed knocked off about one tenth at the most.

    So with that being said I feel why not leave some in and save some wear and tear on the transmission. Just my .02.

    Thanks, I was really fishing to see if I was being abusive to the transmission. I will experiment though.
