Terry the torque management (on our older trucks) within the ECM looks at throttle position when starting from a dead stop. So if you want to launch off the line you are better off pressing only half way down and as soon as you hit 15 MPH you can go to WOT. Now that was what I was told by a power train engineer and that was back in 2006.
With all the newer vehicles now having to have stability/traction control, I'm not to sure what all it looks at now. The STC systems look at the wheel sensors along with some other inputs from other senors also. The TM was implemented to protect the drive train , transmission, torque converter, driveshaft/shafts and to a lessor extent the rear end/ends from WOT launches.
