TORQUE NANNY?
i was reading posts on another site and i came across one that was kinda interesting and i wanted to know if anyone here had any more info on the subject. the post was from a guy who wanted to know why his 06 GT wouldnt smoke or spin tires from a slow roll in 1st gear. ive wondered the same myself. some of the guys there said that theres some kind of torque limiter that ford programmed in to keep from havin to replace tranny, clutch, engine and other parts left and right. if true that means they advertise 300 ponies and 320lb/ft of torque but dont let you tap into it all WTF? any of you guys heard of this or know anything about it? info would be greatly appreciated.

RE: TORQUE NANNY?
I think your talking about the torque management in the auto trans. i reduces torque during shifts. My auto spins tires fine from a stop with or without traction control. with traction off they dont stop spinning until they eventually hook up. After my tune my shifts are fast and firm.

He does bring up an interesting point, my gt 5 speed manual, in a straight line letting out the clutch normally then romping on the gas will not break loose. I know that it has a limited slip but I would think with 300 ponies pushing those stock tires it would break loose. Is the traction that good? Of course this is with TCS off.

M from what these guys said that doesnt turn it off, you have to get a tune and turn the "torque managment" or something like that down from 1 to 0. REN, i can smoke my tires forever from a stop but from like a 5 mph roll they dont seem to want to. thanks for the responses so far tho guys.

yea, i believe the guy on the post said the place he took to tune his car had to turn the torque management down to 0, and i think he said it was with a handheld tuner. i could be completely wrong, ill look for the post and see if i can put the link up.

But again, I will check with the shop I got my tuner from, he did say it really woke up the automatics more than they expected and specifically mentioned how they would now just spin in second and bark third where they never would before.
thats what great about these forums always learning something new
