new guy few questions,pt4000 yank ? I just picked up this car and its had a lot done to it 
My question is this is my first built car with a 4000 stall.How many of you guys use this for street and strip.I need to get use to it for sure.Also when driving in town ,etc,does it make a differance if I use drive or should I use overdrive all the time.In drive does it lower the shift points,make them shift sooner or does it just do away with 4th gear.I should know this 
My tranny has amsoil synthetic fluid and fillter also.Here's a little info on my new ride.01 ws6,silver,auto with yank 4000 stall,DTS 12 bolt ,3:73,TA rear end cover,,complete BMR chrome moly suspension bolts on's,k&n,slp lid,bg ram air mod,mac headers,off road y pipe,magnflow catback,MSD wires,NGK plugs,smooth bellows,slp mass air flow,throttle body coolant by pass,160 stat,
2.02 1.575 manly racemaster valves with fully polished and ported heads Trend Fully hardend pushrods, COMP TI retainers, Dual Valve spring's
custom comp 228 236 588 578 114 ,ARP hardware,New Z06 gaskets.Around 400 RWHP at 6200 rpm and 360 torque at 5000 rpm,I think a good tune would give me better numbers.

I run a pt4400 in mine driving 90 miles a day and I usually keep the shifter in 3rd till about 45 and have the lock up set a 25mph It saves the locking and unlocking all the time, it is also a good thing to put a tranny temp guage in to becouse of all the slipping if you get stuck in traffic, I know mine will raise 20 to 30 deg. in traffic

90 miles a day thats encouraging.I do have a tranny cooler and a tranny temp guage . I am running synthetic fluid if that even helps in the long run.Mine locks up at around 40mph .How did you make yours lock up at 25mph.That would making in town driving easier on the engine I would think and maybe better gas milage.Anyone else ?
