Default Vig 3600 locks/unlocks while going 55-65??? wtf?

is this cause i have the ported MAF ends.. whisper ones??

its doign this all of a sudden and all i had done in the past 2 months was a MAF end swap, asp pulley, and girdle put on...

I have the 3600 vig and i think i saw where the ported ends affect this in some way?? but ill be going 55 or so and the converter just unlocks and i can rev the car up and etc, then after 2 mins or so it will lock and go back to OD or something.. plus i can pull over, turn car off and then go on my way again and its back to normal.. weird??? what gives??

I'd definitely put the stock MAF ends back on to see if that cures your problem. If not, then it will take a manual lockup switch or custom tuning to keep the converter locked on the highway. The higher stall torque converters are known to do this. I had the same problem on my '98 T/A until I had MTI program the PCM. They have a lockup program that will keep the converter from unlocking on the highway. Any of the tuners can do it; Ed Wright did it on my SS.
