I'm thining my tune needs more tweaking. I love the tune but my question is, is when is the convertor suppose to lock up? My convertor locks up 2 seconds after WOT. I think it needs to lock up ASAP after WOT. You can feel a difference after 2 seconds and the truck starts to pull harder. Also from a dead stop I don't think it locks up till 2 seconds in 2nd gear.

Thanks
Chris

How do you know the converter is locking up other than feeling like it is?

You should contact your tuner and see how he has it set-up. Are you running an aftermarket converter?

He told me he had it set up to lock in at 2 seconds. Stock was 4 seconds. I thought it was suppose to be instant but he knows better than I do. I was going ask and see and let my tuner know and let him redo my tune if it needs to be locked sooner or how to tell him how to lock it.

Also do you think that would make my HP and TQ numbers low? Considering on the dyno run for 2 seconds my converter wasn't locked?
