Default turning lockup off with diablo prediter
I have a diablosport preditor for my 2000 trans am and just bought a ptc 3800 stall converter and ptc told me not to lock it up, will the diablo do that?

i am pretty sure they mean to NOT lock it up manualy with a (lock up switch) under full throttle. Some racers lock up the converter once it is in high gear going down the drag strip.It is very hard on transmission parts and the converter.

This. I would not do it unless your trans it built and whoever built it knew you would be doing this.
