Disable the converter lock-up GM High-Tech Performance
The Final Countdown
“As for the second area of opportunity, eliminating converter lock-up… TGOW launches hard and rockets though First and Second gear, but noses over dramatically midway through Third with lockup, dumping about 300 rpm in the process… This explains the weak trap speed relative to ET and could possibly account for a tenth or more in lost ET. It’s nothing $10 and a trip to Radio Shack can’t cure, namely an inline switch to disable the converter lock-up, and a 15-ohm resister to trick the computer into thinking the solenoid is engaged.”
Does anyone know how to do this? I am pretty sure I am having the same problem.
