You can see that 3rd and 4th both say at 100% TPS its to be locked up at 75mph...

In 3rd gear wot,, i got to be doin over 80mph.
For 4th gear,, if your WOT in 4th... your a pretty bad man....

Mine locks up at ~103 near the bottom of 3rd during a WOT run. I can hear/feel my rpms drop right before i cross the traps. I'm wondering if I should have Rick tune it to lock up sooner, or later?

if the converter locks before the traps will it affect my 1/4 times. I've heard that it usually slows you down??????

Yeah, I don't know. I've been trying to get my tuner out to the track with me.

I have played with locking or not at the bottom of 3rd gear. No difference in ET but I do pull about 1mph more with it locked.
