When it shifts harder it could knock and pull a bunch of timing back causing it to fall flat on its face.

I've read about the torque management, I think I'd like to leave it in place. While I couldn't help some harder pulls for the grins of it, the real-world purpose of this truck is to do truck stuff. Towing my boat, hauling stuff, etc.
Since 99% of the time will be low-intensity driving, I'd like that protection for the trans.
