I dont think any of the hand helds will deal with those issues .

Your local tuner can tho .

Torque management will only be able to be done with HP Tuners softerware or something compatible that can edit the PCM!

Plus the full throttle limiter - unless you mean your full throttle RPM or MPH if this is the case you'll be able to up these with any hand held tuner for your year Vette!

Fan temps - any hand held tuner will adjust the fan setting's!

I got HP Tuners Full Pro addition so I can do some adjusting instead of taking it all the time to the tuner to fine tune certain aspects after my Full Dyno Tune thatwas done!

See here: http://www.hptuners.com/ You can get it Vehicle specific or get the pro for a little more! IMHO it's totally woth it!

Thanks,Matt

Interesting. I had a Diablo handheld tuner for awhile....and even though it SAID I could turn off the torque management, there was no noticeable difference after having done it.

On the other hand, it was great for adjusting fans....not 350 bucks worth of great, but, well you know....

The problem I had and still have, even after a professional tune, is that my Vette will accelerate quicker at half-throttle, than it will at full throttle up until about 65 mph.

I feel there's definitely something else going on with these Corvettes that's inherent to their design when it comes to how they perform, that even the pro-tuners can't seem to resolve, without there being extensive modifications to the engine and driveline.

Throttle response on an essentially stock Vette is sad...and it's just not all in the gearing. I've had 2.59's and 3.54's in my C4 and 3.15's and 3.42's in a C5 and it appears to literally take forever for the engine to respond when the throttle is suddenly stabbed..while on my "old school" vintage V8, the result is virtually instanteous.

If you can excuse the silly verbal sound effects, when I stab the throttle on my Vette, the result is like "vaaah-rooooom". While on the vintage V8, it's "vroom"...no hesitation, no taking a 'deep breath' first.

'Twould seem to me, that the only way to make them run right, is to mod the hell out of them. But then, I feel the deeper one gets into the modding, the more the overall reliability is being compromised, so you just cannot win.

What your talking about has to do with the transmission calibration. You would need HPTuners or EFILive to address those issues or a tuner familiar with the A4 trans.

Why is it, whenever I bring up this sort of stuff, all the "experts" go and hide in the weeds or something?
Is this not as "important" to discuss as some of the other things that are kicked to death here?

Don't feel bad. There are times I feel like I'm talking to the wall too!
My guess is that the guys with the experience just can't read and respond every post.
I'm just really glad this forum is here and we do have a whole bunch of helpful, contributing members.
