Hey guys I have the Smarty and have been running wild Torque management... would changing to mild or even moderate get rid of most of the smoke when i take off? I love the power but hate the smoke. I have the 4. 11 program stock injectors aftermarket turbo as I am running the garrett stage 3 bb turbo... . thanks in advance guys...

Heads up: Marco posted about long term longevity of the stock 48RE with moderate torque management and after 2000 miles, the torque converter started to shudder. He then went to mild torque management and it was fine.



As for the smoke issue, your sig doesn't say what type of air intake or filter you have, but if its stock, you will get tons of smoke. You need to get an aFe Stage 2 (or similar) or PSM cool air kit with aFe PG-7 to reduce the smoke.



I went from stock to Amsoil nano and still had smoke. Then went to PG-7 and the truck ran much smoother and smoke was reduced (but still there under hard accel)



I couldn't tell a difference between stock TM and mild TM, so I'm running stock TM on LEVEL 1 to see if I get any mpg improvements. Based on Marco's test, I was afraid to even try moderate TM for any length of time with my stock transmission.



Hope this helps,

Louis
