Inside the 1,000 lb-ft 6.7L Cummins
As I said before, most of the changes were made to keep it clean(emissions wise) and cool at stock power levels while mated to emissions equipment. Although, there is no doubt Cummins is sandbagging ...

I honesty think most people here would not want to remove torque management especially if their idea of a good transmission is a buttery smooth shifts. You would also have traction issues with that much torque. I do agree that Ram is a bit too conservative on their torque limiting both in the first few gears and between shifts, but it is a generic tune made for most people who like smooth shifts and not for people like me who like firm shifts.
I still have some torque limitations on my tuned truck in the first few gears, but it is no where near as bad as stock. It was decreased even more once I got my built trans, but it made it shift firmer than many here would probably like. I also have to take it easy on the throttle when it is wet out. It is easy to get swirly with an empty bed and 1,100 lb-ft at the wheels. :B
