Lately I've been considering a tuned PCM for my truck. Currently leaning toward black bear performance.
I've read some about torque management. Mostly related to the automatic transmissions. I have a 5 speed. Does the TM apply to the manual trucks?
I would like for the trucks hidden power to be unlocked and I don't need torque management, my right foot controls that.
Looking to hear others experiences with a tuned pcm particularly with a 5 speed truck.
Thanks
funny how this is the first post i see today.......either whilst waiting for the slumber wagon to take me or in an actual dream(don't have those much), i was 'imagining" myself driving my newly tuned truck.....all i remember is my face hurting from the big assed smiles i got.
ever since swapping the crate HT383E and 4L70 in i can't help but wonder just what kind of power is being left on the table. i was supposed to have had her dyno-tuned by now, but the timing and distance haven't cooperated.....now, with going back to work, i doubt it'll happen for months and impatience is starting to win me over.
i'm very impressed with the difference i can tell from the tired stock 350, especially the shift points......and there's such a cool feel to this stroker and exhaust combo..almost every time i drive her someone compliments how great she sounds...every time i'm driving her i just HAVE to do a WOT run to put a smile on my face......the marketing of the engine is brilliant too. which bugs the hell out of me.
at the bottom the the "details" section on the Jegs page it says "Performance recalibration of OEM ECU will significantly increase torque and horsepower"..............just WTF does that mean? LOL
my brain is telling me to wait so i can see a difference betwixt before and after.....on paper......but the visceral feeling may just be enough for me....i don't have or get "paper" on 95% of Harley engine builds or upgrades i do to be happy.....especially when i'm riding with someone that likes to play.
i want to find out something.
SOON
thanks for putting the carrot on the stick in front of me Jorge......LOL
