Default Need tune help with new stall!!

Like it says I need help. I recently installed a vig 3200 stall and I have lockup issues. Car wont stay lockedup on the hiway. Its constantly locking and unlocking, and then sometimes when your slowing down it wont unlock as soon as it should. All when the AC is on it tends to stay lockedup more then when the AC is off. Is there anyone out here that has the software and know-how to tune this for me. I got my dyno tune @ dynosport in Lincoln NE and he did a great job, but I took it to him after the converter install and thought he got it fixed but its still acting up. You know how that goes, you take your car to the shop and as soon as you get there it stops acting up, and on the way home it starts back up again.

Im not blaming dynosport at all for not getting it fixed, but is there anyone here that can help. Im really sure its in the tune. Anyone in nebraska had a converter tuned before? Where did you go? Who tuned it?

Assuming it's not a mechanical problem; random unlocking and locking can usually be fixed by increasing the values in the Misfires tables located under Engine Diagnostics.

Did he just tune your stall or tune it for all your mods. I had a mail order tune before and it suxed. Do you think he can fix the lockup issues without changing the rest of the tune? Is this possible?

Well if you have a diablosport handheld, you can get a custom tune for your stall via email. That's what I had to do to get the benefit of the stall. Just got my stall and shift kit in my car this past weekend.
