    What updates for a 2800 torque converter

    We recently did a heads/cam swap on a C5 Corvette. I'm all set on the tune there but we also swapped the torque converter to a 2800 Yank. What adjustments need to be made for the converter?

    Elim 3rd gear lockup, raise 4th lockup to closer to actual 1:1, eliminate PWM at lockup, raise base pressures to account for the new "slip", suggest changing part throttle shift schedule, disable trans solenoid perf codes, raise or disable lockup counters; may involve changes to idle tuning due to the reduced inertial mass at the FW now (ie, engine RPMs will fall faster).
