Default manual lock up

how many of you guys are using a manual lock up botten to make your trans lock up? if so when do you use it? and what kind of T/C are you running?
please let me know of the pros and cons and how to wire one.

Thanks

TH400, rmvb, manual LU, YANK ss3600.
..... wired to a rocker swith on the console.... lock it up in 3rd around 40 mph.... unlock it after I lift coming to a stop.

12v > switch > LU on trans. Works good for me-

I use it sometimes on my car on motor (haven't tried it with n2o yet).. gains a couple mph in the 1/4 and keeps me from shifting into OD. On the dyno it made about 20rwhp more locked too. I can't get it to do it with HPTuners correctly so for now I have a switch in the car.
