Replying to: junglegeorge (Jun 01, 2006 11:45 am) The issue I have with the Torque Management that is built into the system is the limitations it puts on output based on vehicle speed, speed with which throttle was applied and what the computer actually allows to happen. For normal driving conditions it isn't too big of a deal but to be blunt, when I floor the throttle, I want/need everything the motor/drive train is capable of and I really don't want the computer restricting output through fuel/timing/etc. restriction. There is a lot of information on this feature available, but from what I understand it is basically put in place to keep people from tearing up their drive lines and creating warranty issues. But when a 300+ hp vehicle, with 4.10 gears and 17" wheels gives a "simulated" bog type feeling when you floor it to "accellerate out of danger" - I find that disappointing.  From what I have read, the various tuning services, Westers, Wait4me, etc. can over ride/tone down this feature to allow much more response out of the hole - so more than likely, that is the route that I will be going after I get the first oil change under the belt.  Other than that, I REALLY like the new Tahoe. Fit, finish and overall design are heads and tails above the '06 design in my book and the ride and handling a very nice with the LT3 package. I looked at stepping up to the LTZ, but I ordered mine in February, and the dealer told me that the LTZ would add an extra 3-4 weeks to the delivery. That tied with the fact that I do take mine off road camping, hunting etc, I figured I would be better off with the taller sidewalls of the 17's over the 20's.
