Mine acts funny sometimes too. Remember, you are using a lot more throttle to get moving or stay moving. The converter lockup table is based heavily on throttle position. It will take longer to meet the requirements for lockup over stock because the computer sees your throttle position and "thinks" you are still wanting to accelerate when in reality you really aren't. What I do is completely lift off the throttle for about 2 seconds, the converter will lock, then I will resume my soft accel to whatever speed I want. I could fix it in the tune but its not that annoying.

Also, stock your computer has PWM, which is basically slipping your converter to lockup. It makes it soft and smooth and basically unnoticeable. With an aftermarket converter that has a smaller lockup clutch, it is preferable to give either 0 engagement or 100%. Any decent tuner will know this.
