EGT is lower because you have more air now with the higher boost numbers. With a stock trans the biggest problem will be burning up the direct clutches from removing the TQ management. You generalyl run about 40 hp more and some TQ management removal. Any more than that and it will eat the trans until you get at least a shift kit.

EGT is lower for some reason not sure why it would do that..

IDK why i put that. I do know why it would decrease But I am confused about the trans. That is where i have a problem...
yes i do run about 40 hp setting is performance.. I don't know how to set anything with the torque management. If I can? I'm going to read the directions more I guess
Well I looked through the directions and found the tq management its password protected so i called them and then got the password.. But they also said that i should leave it off with the stock trans.... I think i had better do that till I get What ever aftermarket trans I'm getting...

I also did some changing on the bully dog and turned off the low end torque to HIGH low end torque
I took that to mean you disabled TQ management which I believe is all the BD will do, its on or off. Was I wrong interpreting it that way?

TQ management off is gonna be hard on the clutches unless you put a shift kit in. Ask me HOW I know this.

Well I think tq management is off.. to adjust it you need a password I have never entered a password...

when i said I added low end tq that is something i do when installing the BD it asks me if i want low end tq I said yes normally I say no..

As far as tq management goes it is off I have not entered a password to have any settings..
but once i enter the password I will only have two options as you stated (on or Off) since I'm all stock trans not a good idea for me to have it on...

As far as a shift kit I seen something floating around that you can get them I have no idea if i want to do that yet. I was thinking dealing with stock trans till I get a new name brand ATS or Sun Coast...

A shift kit will allow you to turn off the TQ management and use more of the tuner without trashing the trans, JUST a shift kit. There are a couple of other things to enhance shifting and life that can be done with the VB off that are relatively inexpensive.

It doesn't fix the sloppy TC but thats acts as a buffer to the power anyway. It will up the line pressures to hold the power, firm up the shifts, and greatly reduce the problem of slipping the stock TC clutch. Fix the circulate in park problem also. Not bad for $75 kit and a couple hours of time.

Google it, a lot of performance places sell them as do local parts stores. Just about any performance shop will be able to get you what you need.

I will have to look into it a little more. I just got done with a fluid change and flush about 15k ago....
Thanks for everyones help and the turbo is boosting at 32 psi on tow setting and 40 on extreme. I hardly ever run on extreme anyways mostly on tow or performance...
performance i see 38 psi its too high for what i do. but i dont pounce on the skinny that much...
Bad part Christmas took a toll on me and i sold My MBRP 5 inch exhaust... since i basically have a stock truck with a tuner I don't need it. I will get something later when i am ready to
I am going to make a new thread about my HP options what i want and see what everyone thinks
Thanks for everyone's help
