Cartek torque Mgmt
Has anyone had the Torque Management program done from Cartek? The advertisement claims:"Prevents the ecu from reducing timing and throttle angle(torque management) under hard driving and fast shifts. Some customers have gained as much as .3 and 3 mph" I am interested in having this done on my 05 auto. Any comments would be appreciated.

Fortunately C6 programming/tuning software has come a long way in the past year and half and they can tune the automatics now as well.

If you want a "black box" between your computer & abs controller - go for it. This item has been beaten to death and back, on this very forum.
Actually been a long time since anyone has even mentioned it. Find a decent tuner, and stay away from "black boxes" whose operation has never been properly explained.

Every new vette needs an optimal tune anyways.
