Thanks for the replies guys! Keep them coming! My intended use is just cruising. My vats have already been disabled by BP-Automotive. He was supposed to disable the P0053 and P0059 fault codes as well but since I am currently getting them, he said sometimes it doesn’t “take” and will have to be done again by the tuner. I don’t expect to be doing any performance upgrades like a cam, etc. I would like to adjust my shift points as mentioned. I assume the “power management” was mentioned in response to my statement about the engine stumbling. If this is true, I have to say, I think I have an actual issue that needs addressed, I don’t think the PCM is doing this. When you slam the pedal down, it does nothing for a second then it recovers and accelerates.
