converter lock-up is it possible through HP tuners to program the converter to lock up when you want it, so as to make a larger stall converter (3600+ rpm) more daily driveable? Also I am curious, because my exhaust will draw a lot of attention if it isn't locking up around town...

I removed TC lockup on all speeds during all driving condition except cruise. I figure, I am either beating on it, on the side roads or wanting to cruise on the freeways. Now I can. I kept the stock cruise control lock-up table and just flip the switch when I want it to lock up, then turn off cruise and it unlocks. 
Some bad advice in this thread bud. My old car setup locked up at 35mph in 3rd and like 40mph in 4th. No bucking or bogging for me.
Whenever you decide to do a converter hit me up with a pm and i'll explain some things to you. And show you how to hook up the cooler and all that...Later
Oh and you can tune it to lock up at lower speeds if you want. My tuner has done it to mine and others around here.
