Have you had it on a scanner and seen that lockup is not being commanded when you expect it to? (As opposed to being commanded but the clutch not able to lockup.) I'm not sure I'd expect that converter to be too happy about being asked to lockup at WOT.

Yup . I agree with TT. If you're converter wasn't supposed to lock up at WOT as manufactured then asking it do so would bring undesired results.

Well, that wasn't quite what I said.

I'm a big believer in asking things to work just a wee bit out of spec. Sometimes that lets the smoke out

but not always. Nothing wrong with trying.

It is working on part throttle thats y I want to see table to see if I got something set wrong. I have a yank and can lockup at WOT.

I'm not aware of a different table specifically for WOT, just the apply and release tables where vehicle speed is indexed by %TPS. I use EFILive and also have a vehicle speed indexed %TPS release as well. (I don't remember seeing this with LS1-Edit.) Those values are all 100 with a max value of 100. Do you have something like that with HPTuners?

Are you saying that you've modified the apply table and it's not applying at the desired vehicle speed? Did you modify the release table as well (to not release)?

yes about the same I have table set at 95 to 100 TPS and come on at 100MPH and have release set at maybe 255 or 256 MPH! Should release speed be less that 100 MPH?? This is all from memory as I dont have table in frt of me.
