Torque Management and Automatics
Read in a recent discussion about C5 and Automatics and the fact that they are limited to 250 in Torgue. What's the use of mods. if they do no good ! Does anyone out there know? And what type of tuning changes the values? I have a 99.

There are a few aftermarket tuning alternatives which can be used to change the values. You can almost take your pick.

In 2001 "2nd generation" Active Handling was standard on all C5s.
On a C5 with both, Traction Control and Active Handling, they are a combined system and are combined with ABS.
On a C5 with TCS only there are two modes: on and off.
On a car with Active Handling, there are three modes:
1.TCS/AH on,
2.TCS/AH off
3.Competitive Mode
These are activated using the Active Handling button on the console. Not the Selective Ride Control switch.
As for torque management further information can be found in this discussion.

I don't see anything that limits TQ or HP. But I have seen several locations where TQ is reducted by a percentage.
Example 1 -2 shift is reduced by 10% at 200 ft. lbs. of Tq.
So far it all appears to be adjustable.
