Proper way to dyno automatic?

What is the proper procedure for dynoing an automatic with a locking torque converter?

I have the ability to hold gears and command lockup using my laptop.

Thanks,

So I force 3rd gear and then initiate the lock up from 2000 rpm or so?

you'll have to lower the 3-2 shift points also.

Not if you lock 3rd with the bi-directional controls.

I always thought it would be cool is someone would change their shift points so that it would not downshift and you could actually get a WOT run from 3000 to redline in 3rd gear... very easy to do with a tuning program.

Doesn't always work, best bet is to change the shift points so it can't downshift.
