im going through my trans tune in anticipation of running a 3200 stall converter. i went through all of the auto shift stuff, now im working on the TCC convertor lockup apply and release points. im not finished with this trans tune yet, and the car is schedule to be dyno tuned next weekend.
i drive the car irregularly on the street (its a cammed and ported 2010 camaro SS), so i want changed the shift points to keep the car in the 1600-1800 rpm range while driving to avoid any loading up of fuel that may occurr in normal driving mode, and i made sport and tatd modes much more agressive for track use. for the normal setup, that means i also changed the points that it shifts into 5th and 6th gear up a bit in mph. i set the convertor to lock up in specific gears at specific miles per hour to hold the 1600-1800 rpm also.
while reading the tuning schools transmission tuning booklet for this transmission - page 27, i noticed it states to basically max out the values from 0-75% on the apply rows for 3rd and 4th gear, but also says not to change anything over 75% because that keeps the convertor locked up for wide open throttle.
when i look at the stock numbers, it says the the converter doesnt lock up in 4th gear untill 90 mph, at 4500 rpm approx.
5th is similar.
my question is, is there a certain rpm or power point that i would want to lock up the convertor for these +75% throttle events (keeping in mind i have a 3200 stall converter)?
