Question Engine Torque Managment

I just installed a 3200 TC and a trans-go shift kit.At WOT my 1-2 shift goes to 3500 instantly and goes to 5800 like it's supposed to.My 2-3 shift goes to 3500 and when it reaches 4500 it drops down to 3500 without changing gears and goes back up to 5800 into 3rd.I called trans go,and they said it was my engine torque managment telling the pcm that I'm starting 2-3 way to high and it drops my rpm's.He said it was common for 98' and up camaros and thats the only case of a 97' doing that.He seems to think only LS1 camaros have it.How do you guys cope with it,he brought up that my pcm had to be programmed.Do you LS1 guys have this problem. Mike

Even though I do not have an aftermarket TC, everything I have read about the torque management applies to the 01&02 model year. You would need a program called "Auto-Tap" to remove the settings. I am not sure wether "LS1 edit" would delete it also.

Ok, I know that 00 models have it as well. There is a girl in our local club that replaced her tc and installed the trans go, and her car required reprogramming to deal with it. Second, Im prett sure Auto Tap wont let you change anything. Auto Tap is just so you can see what your car isdoing, Im pretty sure you cant make an permenant changes to the computer with it. LS1 Edit will take care of it. If your going to do it, get it done right the first time and take it somewhere for a tune.

Autotap will not remove the settings, you need some sort of programmer like ls1edit or predator to remove torque management.

If your 97 does have the torque management then LT1 Edit would take care of it I would assume. Its made by the same people who make LS1 Edit.
