Lockup speeds?
Where do you guys have your lockup speeds set at? The tuner set mine to 45mph so while driving in city it's always unlocked. I don't mind it but there are times when I think about it getting set to a lower speed.

I have stock settings and I like them. 30 in 3rd and 38 in 4th, though i'd like to bump 4th to 45 because its just too much below that and you have no power. I really only lost 1mpg after the converter...
Locking sooner will probably keep the tranny cooler and help with your mileage.

Question for you guys about lockup speeds that i've been wondering about:
Normally it will not lock in 3rd unless you are in the "3" selection. In OD it will only lock when it reaches 4th gear. Now when you program it to lock in 3rd in the OD selection (D on Pontiacs) does it unlock quick to go into 4th, then lock again? It doesn't stay locked through the shift does it?
